The Upper Saxon Imperial Circle is one of the largest in Germany. In addition to the Saxon Electorate it includes maps of Prussia, Pomerania, the territories belonging to branch families of Wettins in Thuringia. Bernhard Paul Moll managed to assemble a larger number of prints primarily for Dresden and Berlin.
