Map of the territory of the Prince-bishops of Eichstätter. The very representative and masterly engraved cartouches make the map a very special one: At lower left a large and decorative title cartouche with a town view of Eichstätt and the Willibaldsburg; at the upper central part a splendid cartouche with the bishop's crown and his coat of arms hold by baroque putti surrounded by clouds; and at lower right an additional cartouche with scales.
