29 Georg Philipp Finckh after Philipp Apian (1531–1589) – Map of the Isar Valley and Tegernsee – Copperplate Engraving (1684)

Engraved by Georg Philipp Finckh, this edition presents a richly detailed copperplate map in German, highlighting key settlements, rivers, forested regions, and mountainous terrain across Upper Bavaria and the Alpine border. The cartographic style preserves the Renaissance-era accuracy and artistry of Apian while incorporating updated geographical knowledge of the late 17th century. 

Philipp Apian (1531–1589) was a pioneering mathematician and cartographer who created the first scientifically surveyed map of Bavaria. Georg Philipp Finckh was commissioned to reengrave and expand Apian's cartographic legacy, resulting in a significant milestone in the history of German topography. This engraving was published in 1684.
