This handsome map covers the majority of Austria, omitting only the narrow western corridor, with fine detail of the Danube. The topography of the region is intricately rendered, and there are several place names identified. It shows the fortifications of Vienna and is adorned with a military-themed title cartouche. Santini first published a complete re-engraving of Robert de Vaugondy's map circa 1776; this is the second state, with Remondini's imprint added.
