Description
Two bird's-eye views on one sheet, by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg: Soest and Warburg. CARTOUCHE: Soest, among the cities of Westphalia almost the largest and richest.
COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "Although the farmland in Westphalia is generally better for woods and cattle pastures, the area around Soest and Hamm is still suitable for cultivating grain. Soest is also well known for its many salt mines.
For the town of Pfaffendorf, where the salt mines lie, supplies Soest with daily deliveries of such a quantity of precious salt that is sufficient to cover the needs of not only the city itself but also all its neighbouring towns far around. The owners of the salt mines, mostly nobles, are inhabitants of the city. The city itself maintains six mills for the general use."
This view shows the city from the southeast, it's dominated by numerous church spires.

CAPTION: Warburg, a fine town in Westphalia. COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "Warburg, an attractive town in Westphalia, lies on hilly ground with the River Diemel flowing by it. It formerly had the title of county, as Hermann Hamelmann records in his Westfàlische Geschichte, where he also praises the town for its delicious beer, which is happily imbibed, in particular by those who seek humour for little expense."
This view from the south shows the town of Warburg, which is spread out across several hills. The early Gothic church of St John the Baptist soars above the New Town in the centre background.
The Old Town in the foreground, which sprang up on an advantageous site on the Diemelfurt, is first mentioned in records of 1036. Following the foundation of the New Town in 1228 by the bishop of Paderborn, the two merged to form a single town in 1436. The town hall ""between the town"" was erected in 1568. On the far right is a glimpse of Desenberg castle, perched on top of a striking 340m high basalt bluff as if on an inselberg.

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.
