Large 2-sheet map of an area of Lithuania and Eastern Prussia (Russian province of Kaliningrad) stretching from Klaipeda (Memel) in the north to Goldap in the south (a town on the Polish - Russian (Kaliningrad) border, Tilsit (Sovetsk) and Gumbinnen (Gusev).A very detailed map of the area, showing many towns, a dam, regions, woods, rivers.
With a large figurative cartouche and a plan of the city of Gumbinnen (now Gusev, in the Kaliningrad Oblast), built by Frederick William I of Prussia, as he was redeveloping the area after the population had been ravaged by plague in 1711.
In 1732 he resettled the area with some of the 20,000 Protestants expelled from the Archbishopric of Salzburg.
Homann Heirs / Homannianische Erben (Nuremberg, 1730–1848)
The "Homannianische Erben" was the successor firm to Johann Baptist Homann’s map publishing house; the principal Nuremberg map publisher of the middle and later 18th century.Johann Baptist Homann (1664–1724) founded the firm in 1702, and it became the most prominent and prolific map publisher of the 18th century.
After his death in 1724, the firm’s plates and management passed to his son, Johann Christoph Homann (1703–1730). Knowing he might not long survive his father, Johann Christoph stipulated in his will that the company would go to his two head managers, Johann Georg Ebersberger (1695–1760) and Johann Michael Franz (1700–1761). The will also required that the firm publish only under the name Homann Heirs.
The firm drew on Homann’s large stock of plates and added new maps and updates. Maps were produced by a circle of Nuremberg and other German mathematicians and cartographers.
The firm published in 1752 the "Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus Mappis Homannianis" of 37 maps and charts. Most early Homann atlases were made to order or compiled from individual maps at the buyer’s request, but this one was issued as a “suggested collection” of essential maps. The firm also published the Atlas Homannianus (Amsterdam, 1731–1796) and the Atlas Geographicus Maior (c. 1780). Celestial work: the 1742 Atlas Coelestis, based on Doppelmayr’s work, appeared under the Homann Heirs imprint (see the Doppelmayr / Homann entry).

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.
