Description
Very rare 2-sheet map and the first map of the canton Fribourg (Freiburg) in a scale of Scale 1:120.000. South to the top.
The area shown on the map encompasses the whole of today's canton, including Bern and Freiburg. Illustrated with mountains, forests, castles, cities, the striking water network dominates the middle part, with the Neuenburger and the Murtensee as a contrast to the pre-alpine hills and mountain ranges.
The west sheet shows a heraldic composition in the top right: two Freiburg Heraldic shields are under the double-headed eagle coat of arms and the Imperial crown is made up of two lions, one with the pointing sword and one with the orb, flanked.
In the bottom right, a view goes from the imposing Red Tower along the city wall down to the only partially visible cat tower and over the covered Saane to the vast city. You can see the mighty city church St. Niklaus, the Liebfrauenkirche with its pointed helmet, the large Jesuit college St. Michael on the Bisehügel, the tower-reinforced outer city wall and the harmonious rows of houses in the city quarters. Left above the cat tower shows the Augustinian monastery. Surrounded by triangular square Obere Matte, on which two tall trees stand.
This is the second imprint of 3.
For the first edition, around 1668-1772, paper by the papermakers HIERONYMUS I or HIERONYMUS II BLUM from Basel was used.
The second edition occurred in 1778 at the earliest and used paper of HIERONYMUS HUBER from Augst. Our both sheets of paper have the watermark of a lily-adorned, crowned shield with the letters H.Huber.
The third edition was a reprint in 1975.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
