This detailed hand-colored map depicts the Ducatus Bavariae (Duchy of Bavaria) along with its neighboring territories in southern Germany. The map showcases key towns, bishoprics, rivers, and administrative boundaries, with fine engraving and vibrant outline coloring. The lower right corner features an elaborate cartouche with a crowned lion holding a shield, a heraldic symbol of Bavaria. This map was published in Bequemer Schul- und Reisen-Atlas (also known as Atlas Scholasticus et Itinerarius), one of the most important geographic works of Johann Christoph Weigel.

Johann Christoph Weigel (1654–1725) was a German engraver, publisher, and bookseller based in Nuremberg. He collaborated with the historian Johann David Köhler to produce richly illustrated atlases for educational and travel purposes. Weigel's works are admired for their clarity, decorative cartouches, and accessible geographical knowledge, playing a crucial role in early 18th-century cartographic publishing.
