Description
A monumental map of the course of the Rhine river. The three-sheet woodcut map showing the Rhine from the headwaters in Switzerland to its mouth in the North Sea. The map on three leaves was first published in the 'Cosmographia' by Sebstian Münster around 1540, and a second one was issued in 1588. This is the second state (1588) of Münster's monumental maps of the river Rhine.
The three sheets are not joined, the first picture displayed is a loose computer assembly to give an impression of how the river Rhine would run on the assembled sheets. The total size of the map if joined would be 30,7 x 104 cm. The actual offer of the three maps is displayed below.
