Gabriel Walser’s 1768 map, Canton Appenzell Sive Pagus Helvetiae Abbatischellanus cum Confinibus, is a historically significant cartographic work depicting the Swiss canton of Appenzell. This map was published by the renowned Homann Heirs, a prominent German mapmaking firm known for producing high-quality atlases and geographical works in the 18th century.

Walser, a Swiss theologian and historian, meticulously delineated the region, capturing its geographical features, settlements, and political boundaries as they existed in the late 18th century. The title, written in Latin, emphasizes Appenzell’s association with the Swiss Confederation and its historical ties to the Abbey of Saint Gall (Abbatischellanus). The map provides a detailed representation of the Appenzell region, including its division into Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden, along with surrounding territories.

As with many maps produced by the Homann Heirs, this work is visually striking, featuring elaborate cartouches, decorative elements, and possibly an inset or key highlighting significant locations. The use of color and shading enhances the readability of political and topographical distinctions.

This map is not only a valuable historical document but also an artistic piece that reflects the 18th-century cartographic style and the growing interest in regional mapping in Switzerland. It provides insight into the territorial organization of Appenzell before the formal separation of the two half-cantons in 1597 was fully recognized in later maps. Today, Walser’s work is sought after by historians, collectors, and institutions interested in Swiss cartographic history and the political landscape of pre-modern Europe.
