Handsome map of Moravia, the southeastern part of the Czech Republic, showing the six political divisions. The major cities are Brno (Brunn) and Olomouc (Olmutz) and there are hundreds of other cities and villages located. The map is beautifully engraved and embellished with a very decorative cartouche composed with allegorical figures and a coat-of-arms. In the lower left, a pastoral scene adorns the distance scale.
