Famous hand-colored engraved allegorical map, representing the battle for the heart.
This is a wonderful and scarce allegorical map representing the trials and tribulations of romantic entanglement, published by one of Germany's greatest mapmakers of the 18th century, Matthias Seutter.
The fortress at center, representing one's heart, is surrounded by "La Mer Glaceé Sans Passion", this is, The Ice Sea without Passion. The moat includes several spots along the "Conseil des fideles amis" (Counsel of faithful friends) and "Attaque de notre foibles" (Attack on our weakness).
"Le Palais de l'amour" is surrounded by "La Mer D'Inqueitude".
There is a key in the lower part of the image expounding on the method for defending and conserving your heart against the attacks of love. It is given in both French and German.
