This impressive, large-scale map depicts parts of central Europe during the Third Silesian War (part of the Seven Years' War). Two rococo-style title cartouches attribute the cartography to Homann. The map extends from Luxembourg and the Netherlands in the west to western Poland in the east and depicts towns, roads, boundary lines, and the topography of the land. A large inset of northeastern Poland is at top right, with its own title cartouche, Carte Particuliere de la Prusse Royale…. Printed on 3 sheets, joined as issued.
