An extremely attractive example of John Cary’s 1799 map of the Westphalia region of Germany.  Covers from the North Sea to the Lower Rhine.  Includes much of Holland, Belgium and Lower Saxony as well. Highly detailed with color coding according to region.  Shows forests, cities, palaces, forts, roads, rivers, and offshore sandbars.  All in all, one of the most interesting and attractive atlas maps of Westphalia to appear in first years of the 19th century.  Prepared in 1799 by John Cary for issue in his magnificent 1808  New Universal Atlas .
