 "Pin It")
An ornate and richly colored map of Hamburg, Germany, created and issued by Johann Baptist Homann in 1720. The map contains a ‘ground plan’ — a city plan and grid, with a detailed map of the surrounding countryside, with vegetation and drainage, as far south as Lüneburg; and a ‘prospect’ — a panoramic view of the city, upstream from the Elbe. The view is enveloped by intricately drawn cartouches and illustrations in vibrant colors. The upper part of the layout contains a smaller inset map, and an alphanumeric key to locations. (A different-color version of the map, in smaller size, is available here.)
