Beautiful antique map of Swabia by Willem Blaeu. The north-oriented map shows the area between Lucerne, Rosenheim and Heidelberg with the Lake Constance. Centred around Ulm. With a beautiful title cartouche, a mileage scale left to the title and a legend. Imprint to the lower left corner.
The first edition of this map comes from Jodocus Hondius. After Hondius' death in 1629, this copper plate was purchased by Willem Blaeu together with 39 other Hondius plates. Blaeu deleted Hondius' name and added his own to the imprint. Blaeu published immediately 34 of them as part of his first atlas Atlantis Appendix in 1630. This example comes from Dutch edition of the the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum published in 1642-43.
