This detailed hand-colored map depicts the historic County of Tyrol and its surrounding regions in the Eastern Alps, including parts of modern-day Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. It features rivers, mountain ranges, towns, and political boundaries, rendered with fine engraving and vivid outline coloring. The title cartouche in the upper left corner is decorated with allegorical figures and mountainous scenery, evoking the alpine character of the region. The map was published as part of Bequemer Schul- und Reisen-Atlas, the well-regarded travel and school atlas by Johann Christoph Weigel.

Johann Christoph Weigel (1654–1725) was a prolific German engraver and publisher based in Nuremberg. He collaborated with the historian Johann David Köhler to produce educational atlases combining geographical accuracy with aesthetic appeal.
