This uncommon map covers the region from the Baltic Sea and the eastern edge of Germany to portions of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia, extending south to the Black Sea. There is excellent topographical detail, and major cities such as Krakow, Warsaw, Vienna, Kiev, and Minsk are named. The striking title cartouche features the Polish coat-of-arms, putti, soldiers, and a farmer. Another cartouche at top right contains information about where the map was sold and a key indicating the symbols used for towns, universities, towns of note, etc. The distance scales are flanked by putti. Engraved by Francis Lamb.
