Rheinland-Pfalz by Nicolaes Visscher I. 1656-80
Visscher's map of the Palatinate of the Rhine is one of the many cartographical products created during the Bohemian-Palatine War (1620/21).
The title runs along the centre of the upper edge of the map, surrounded by the views of Mainz and Frankfurt in the top corners, which extend into the map area.
The map is framed at the sides and bottom by costumed figures, town views, coats of arms and the cask of Heidelberg.
The town views are based on depictions in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, 1572, by Braun and Hogenberg.
