This attractive engraving of eastern Austria is centered on the Danube river and locates key cities including Vienna, Linz and Steyr. The map extends south past Graz and displays hundreds of tiny villages, forests and mountains in profile. A decorative title cartouche is surrounded by putti, cherubs, a cornucopia, and two coats of arms. This is the second state, with additional geography engraved around the title cartouche.
