An original hand colored copperplate engraved map entitled in Latin "Archiepiscopatus Maghdeburgensis et Anhaltinus Ducatus cum terris adjacentibus", published in Amsterdam in 1640 in the atlas "Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus" by Johannes Janssonius. It includes the 17th century region of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, and the Duchy of Anhalt in West Germany.
This attractive and colorful map with its beautiful cartouche has a central fold, as issued. There is minimal color offset in the upper portions of the map from the opposite side, resulting from the map having been folded in the atlas for an extended period of time, perhaps centuries. There are large full margins. There are spots in the periphery of the margins, but none are seen in the map. The map is presented in an off-white mat with a mylar window. It is hinged at the top only. The map measures 21" x 24.5" and the mat measures 27.5" x 30".
