This handsome map of the Transylvania region of Romania is boldly engraved to show the mountainous topography. The only major city that appears here is the fortified Hermanstatt Zeben (Sibiu), but there are hundreds of tiny villages located. The map is adorned with a large title cartouche decorated in a military theme with a note underneath discussing the region's cultural make-up.
