Description
It’s evident at first glance that the creator of this map, Johannes Gruger, wanted to emphasize heavily the historical aspects of Silesia, in today’s Poland and Czech Republic. The image uses symbols lifted from maps from the 17th and 18th centuries as it identifies rivers, topographical details, and various types of urban areas. Coats of arms also reinforce the theme and add a wonderful decorative element to the page.
