Bavaria. - Nr. 6 of the 24-piece copper etching map by Peter Weiner

Hand-colored copper etching after the woodcut by Philipp Apian (1531-1589)

Published in Munich, 1579

The map of Bavaria (Bayerische Landtafeln), when all 24 parts are put together, measures impressive 156 x 159 cm (ca. 61,4 x 62,6") The individual maps count Nr. 1 (top left) to Nr. 24 (bottom right). The complete map is surrounded by a decorative typical Renaissance fruit decor bordure.

At the time Albrecht V. was prince elector in Bavaria. He was an important patron of the arts and had originally assigned Philipp Apian with the surveying and map-making of Bavaria. Apian was the highly gifted author of the 24 piece map. He had chosen the method of woodcut for his map. However, a devoted Protestant he left Catholic Bavaria for Tuebingen, and Albrecht V. commissioned Peter Weiner to provide replacement for Apian's map.

Original antique print 

We are now looking at map nr. 6. In order to show the geographical layout we tell you some explanatory hints: The general area of this map is the Bavarian District "Oberpfalz". We find the district capital Regensburg at bottom right. There is near Regensburg a short stretch of the river Danube. For further orientation we are looking at contributory rivers to the Danube from the north: Altmühl, Laber, Naab and Regen. The land in between these rivers is shown in very great detail

Very good condition. Pleasant hand coloring.

Map measures 31 x 41 cm (ca. 12.2 x 16.1")
