Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724) was a German engraver and publisher who established himself and his family as perhaps the most famous German map publishers. Following his death in 1724, the business continued under the name Homann Heirs .
This Homann map is finely engraved and in its original wash color with an uncolored cartouche.
