Item description from seller

Hand-Colored Original Copperplate Engraving by Baptist Homann, depicting Theatrum Belli Rhenani Auspicatis Militiae Primitus Potentissimi Roman. et Hunga Regis Iosephi I. PII Felicis Augusti Landavio Gloriose Expugnato Apertum io. Septemb. Anno MDCCII Nova Tabula repraesentatu á Ioan. Baptista Homan Norimbergae Sac. Caes. Majestas. Published Nürnberg, Homann, 1720. Sheet: 557 by 483mm (22 by 19 inches). A fine and original hand-colored example of Homann's celebrated cartographic work, documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 17200s. Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was the foremost map publisher of 18th-century Germany. Born in Bavaria, he founded his cartographic publishing house in Nuremberg in 1702 and within a decade had become the dominant force in German-language cartography. In 1715, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI appointed him Imperial Cartographer -- a prestigious title that gave Homann access to the most current geographic data and exclusive publishing privileges. His maps are celebrated for their bold copper engraving, elaborate Baroque cartouches, and vivid original hand coloring. Following Homann's death in 1724, the firm continued under the imprint 'Homann Heirs' (Homannsche Erben). His maps are held in major collections worldwide, including the Library of Congress, the British Library, and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.This original copperplate engraving, with original hand coloring depicts the region of Theatrum Belli Rhenani Auspicatis Militiae Primitus Potentissimi Roman. et Hunga Regis Iosephi I. PII Felicis Augusti Landavio Gloriose Expugnato Apertum io. Septemb. Anno MDCCII Nova Tabula repraesentatu á Ioan. Baptista Homan Norimbergae Sac. Caes. Majestas., published in Nürnberg, Homann, 1720. The map features a decorative Baroque cartouche containing the title inscription. An inset map is included, providing additional geographic context. The cartouche is elaborated with allegorical or figural ornamentation. The map records the political and geographic boundaries of the region as understood in 1720, offering a fascinating window into the history of German territorial organization. Sheet measures 557 by 483mm (22 by 19 inches). In good condition overall, with minor signs of age appropriate for a 18th-century engraving. Ready to frame. Edges narrowly trimmed. In excellent condition. 557 by 483mm (22 by 19 inches). 557 by 483mm (22 by 19 inches).…
