This is a lovely old map by braun and hogenberg. It's got some great detail and a interesting part of Switzerland.
I got it from the dump.
I have to reframe it apart from that it's in great condition. I try to look him up to find any other maps by braun and hogenberg but had no luck.
Your map is a print - it's not 400 years old. Karl Mohler was the retailer of the now defunct business which sold the map print. The original map was made by Braun and Hogenberg.
Thanks for your comment efesgirl, I wasn't sure if braun and hogenberg was the makers or the retailer.
I know it's a print but it's a really old print, why do you think it's not 400 years old?
From the look of it it came out of a old book as it's got old text on the other side.
