Description
Unusual and attractive large antique engraved map "Circuli Supe Saxoniae..." Homann Heirs, successor of Johann Baptist Homann originates from "Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus…". This book was Homann's second school atlas, published after his 1719 "Atlas Methodicus". While the "Atlas Methodicus" seemed to be intended for the younger school child with its system of blank maps and indexes, this "Atlas Scholasticus" was clearly intended for the more advanced student with its use of the same maps as appeared in Homann's various editions of his atlases. The author depicts the lower part of Saxony in Germany, centered on Leipzig and Dresden. The map shows a small part of Prague in the Czech Republic. We can see the cities of Frankfurt, Wittenberg, Halle, Bisthnaumb, Brandenburg. The map is decorated with a cartouche in the upper left corner.
