Two original antique maps on one sheet titled 'Basiliensis Territorii Descriptio Nova [with] Circulus sive Liga Sueviae'. The first centers on Basel, Switzerland, located on the Rhine River, and is based on Munster's map of 1538. The second map is based on Seltzin's map of 1572 and shows the region of northern Switzerland and southern Germany along the Rhine River and west to the Black Forest. Both are decorated with elaborate cartouches. Published by A. Ortelius, circa 1603.
