Striking old color example of The Mouth of the Vistula, engraved for Luffman’s Select Plans and dated October 1, 1800. It depicts the mouth of the Vistula River as it empties into the Baltic Sea, focusing on the region around Danzig (modern-day Gdańsk) and parts of Prussia (now Poland).
The map centers on the Vistula River's delta, showing its flow through various towns and forts, including Danzig, and its path into the Baltic Sea. Important locations such as Elbing (modern-day Elbląg) and other smaller towns like Stargard, Marienwerder (modern-day Kwidzyn), and Christburg are identified.
Fortifications are marked, notably at Danzig and the road connecting to Weixelmunde. This reflects the region’s strategic significance at the time, likely in relation to trade and defense.
The Baltic Sea forms the northern boundary of the map, labeled with reference points such as the “Road of Dantzig” and islands like the “Heel.”
