Erphordia
|
A rare and unusual plan of the Thuringian city of Erfurth. This distinctive engraving has the signature of engraver Gaspar Bouttats and page number 509, at top right, and appeared, we believe, in "Historia Di Leopoldo Cesare ..." - a history of Emperor Leopold I and the Holy Roman Empire. This pictorial birds-eye plan has some 41 locations identified in the numbered key, and, as Braun and Hogenberg showed a small panorama of the town, rather than a map, we suspect this must be one of the earliest plans of the city.
