DescriptionThis is a mostly monochrome map of the town of Würzburg, in the region of Franconia, Germany. It has some light green shading of the hills in the background and orange rooftops on buildings in the town. In the middle of this text, in the middle of the pink box, there is a banner with a shield covered in various coats of arms. Inside a white strip running horizontally along the bottom, there is a numbered key. The town is atop a hill and is walled in with the walls depicted dimensionally to indicate size. A river runs through the city from near the top of the illustration to the lower right corner.On View
