A compact atlas of fifty hand-coloured copperplate maps issued in 1752 by the Homann heirs in Nuremberg, after Johann Baptist Homann's larger atlas, for general reference and study. The pictures are regional maps in pastel wash, with outlined territories, dense place-name lettering, and ornate cartouches with allegorical figures, useful to a designer for historic map layouts, decorative frames, and period lettering.
