Two maps of Alsace, the French wine region on the left bank of the Rhine between Basel, Strasbourg and Wissembourg with pictorial cartouche. Printed on two sheets and joined.

Printed on two sheets and joined. The map in full original colour. Excellent condition.

They come from seven main grape varieties: Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir.First issue. - Without Homann’s address, so probably published separately.
