Atlas Silesiae : Id Est Ducatus Silesiae Generaliter Quatuor Mappis : Nec Non Specialiter XVI Mappis Tot Principatus Repraesentatibus Geographice Exhibitus : Addita Praefatione Qua De Historia Huius Atlantis Agitur
Atlas Silesiae is a 1750 atlas of the Duchy of Silesia compiled by Tobias Mayer and Matthaeus Schubarth and issued by the Homann heirs in Nuremberg for cartographers and collectors of regional maps. Its pages are hand-coloured copperplate maps of the duchy and its principalities, with ornate cartouches, title panels and mountain scenes in the corners. A designer might take the decorative frames, allegorical vignettes and tinted territorial blocks as period models for map-based graphics, borders and palette work.
