This is the eastern sheet of a three-sheet map that follows the Danube River from Germany to the Black Sea. This sheet focuses on the eastern portion of the Black Sea and includes the superb title cartouche for the map. The allegorical title cartouche features Mercury, Neptune, Fame, Mars, a river god, and implements of war.
