Note:
Circular historical diagram with movable paper hand, dial is arranged in concentric circles, each circle corresponding to one electorship; hand moves chronologically from 1200 to 1800. The chart provides a chronology of rulers within the German Empire from 1200 to 1800 - with the chart remaining blank after 1716. There are 10 concentric rings, each representing a different kingdom or sphere of influence, such as Holy Roman Emperor, King of Bohemia, King of Saxony, etc. The circle is divided into 6 centuries, with each century spanning 60 degrees. The names of the rulers are listed within each ring, and placed at the corresponding degree based on the year they came to power. The spheres of influence are also listed on the pointer, so that the pointer can be moved around the circle to any date to see the names of the noblemen on that date. Includes cherubs hold the drape style title at top and explanatory text at bottom. Title and chart in Latin; explanatory text in German. Date estimated.
