The map depicting Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, two German states, and it was crafted in 1602 by Paolo Forlani and Hendrick Van Schoel. Utilizing woodcut techniques, this map offers a comprehensive portrayal of these regions, meticulously detailing their rivers, mountains, cities, and towns.

The map's title, in Italian, translates to "For Esteemed Readers, Here Presents the Description of the Bavarian Duchy, Alongside Its Neighboring Territories, Painstakingly Revised and First Published in the Year 1570." Notably, this map originates from Antonio Lafreri's 1570 work, but Forlani and Van Schoel undertook revisions, which include the incorporation of Mannheim—a city founded in 1602.

Beyond its intrinsic geographical value, this map holds historical significance by providing a window into Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg during the early 17th century. Additionally, it serves as an exquisite illustration of the artistry inherent in woodcut cartography.

The map is oriented with the north at the top and is divided into two sections, with Bavaria depicted in the upper portion and Baden-Württemberg in the lower part.

Enhancing its visual appeal, the map is adorned with an ornate border featuring depictions of animals, plant life, and mythological figures.

A grid pattern overlays the map, with each square labeled with a corresponding number, facilitating precise location identification.

The map is richly populated with geographical information, encompassing details on rivers, mountains, cities, and towns.

This map serves as a valuable historical resource, providing insights into the topographical and cultural landscape of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg during the early 17th century while exemplifying the craftsmanship and precision associated with woodcut cartography.
