Description

This engraved map of Switzerland was published by Isaak Tirion in Amsterdam during the mid-18th century. It provides a detailed depiction of Switzerland, divided into its constituent cantons and neighboring regions, including parts of France, Germany, and Italy. The map is hand-colored to delineate political boundaries, with prominent features such as the Alps, Lake Geneva (Geneefsche Meer), Lake Constance (Zee van Constans), and major rivers clearly rendered. Key cities, including Zurich, Bern, Geneva, and Lucerne, are identified and marked with symbols for urban centers.

The map emphasizes Switzerland’s complex topography and political divisions during a period of relative autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire.

Condition Description
Original hand-color. Engraving on 18th-century laid paper.
