The Baroque Müller's Map of the Kingdom of Bohemia represents a masterpiece of Bohemian cartography in terms of both topography and artistry. Until multi-page military maps were published in the mid-19th century, this was the largest map of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The copy auctioned here is in very good condition, with no signs of physical damage. Moreover, this is a rarer colorized copy. One map on 25 sheets, colorized copper engraving, scale: 1:132,000.
