Description
TRANSLATION CARTOUCHE TOP: Munich, capital of the two Bavarias.
CARTOUCHES BOTTOM LEFT AND RIGHT: A poem in 24 verses by the knight Anselmus Stöckli in praise of the city of Munich.
CARTOUCHE BOTTOM CENTRE: To his most gracious Prince and Lord, D. William, Rhenish Palgrave and Duke of the two Bavarias, his most benevolent Lord as a sign of his humblest gratitude from Georg Hoefnagel.
COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "When Henry, Duke in Saxony and Bavaria, had returned from the pilgrimage undertaken from piety to Jerusalem [...], he is said to return to his (now known as Upper Bavaria) region and there, near the monastic establishment of the Schefflar chapterhouse, he built a new city, which he called Munich [...]. However, because the accustomed salt and overland route to Salzburg, which even to the present day runs along the Bavarian Alps and is rich of its revenues from salt, at that time ran through Föhring, where there was also a bridge and a trading post, Henry is said to have launched a surprise attack at Föhring, demolishing its bridge and transferring the salt trade along with the bridge toll to the city he had just built."
This plate shows a panoramic view of the city on the Isar and its environs, seen from the east. In the left background the Alps are visible to the south of the city (D). The Isar gate (P) stands out amid the city's fortifications. Above the whole tower the spires of the cathedral of our Blessed Lady, also known as the Frauenkirche (Y), whose existing structure was begun in 1468. To the right of it is the Alter Hof with the chapel of St Lawrence. The New Residence was built on the northern fringes of the city (7). St Peter's (O) is Munich's oldest parish church. (Taschen)

Condition and 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.
Color Key
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.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
