(Schweiz - Das Gebiet der 13 Schweizer Kantone der alten Eidgenossenschaft)
Es handelt sich hierbei um eine originale Holzschnitt-Landkarte der Schweiz von Johannes Stumpf aus dem Jahr 1548.
English description:A rare early woodcut map of Switzerland. The map is oriented to the South (South at top) and shows the 13 swiss cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy (1513 - 1798). It covers an area between Lugano in South, Lake Geneva in the West, the Engadin in the East and Lake Constance in the North. The decorative and very detailed depiction of Switzerland is further enriched by several coats of arms, a milescale and two cartouches with descriptive text. This original woodcut map was published in 1548 by Johannes Stumpf (1500 – 1577). The map measures circa 30 x 42 cm (printed area) and is in good condition. There is some light browning due to age and an area of 3x1 cm has been restored at the lower left corner. The map derives from a first edition of J. Stumpf's "Gemeiner loblicher Eydgnoschafft Stetten, Landen vnd Völckeren Chronick wirdiger thaaten beschreybung [...], dreizehntes Buch, Zürich, Froschauer 1548." - Reference: Haller IV, 396 ; Barth 10216 ; Lonchamp 2819 ; Feller-Bonjour S. 180ff. VD 16 S 9864.
