3018 Peter Schenk the Elder (1660–1711) – Map of the Saxon Districts of Liebenwerda and Schlieben – Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving (c.1700)

This detailed map presents the administrative regions (Ämter) of Liebenwerda and Schlieben in Saxony, Germany, with borders, settlements, and churches carefully indicated. The territory is divided into colour-coded sections and surrounded by lists of associated villages and explanatory legends. A large compass rose, baroque cartouches, and elaborate place-name annotations emphasize the cartographic precision and aesthetic style typical of early 18th-century German mapmaking. The full German title appears as: “Accurate Geographische Delineation derer Chur-Sächsischen Creisse gehörigen Aemter Liebenwerda und Schlieben...”. The map was engraved and published by Peter Schenk the Elder, a prominent Dutch-German engraver and cartographer.
