This rare map was published by Adam Jonathan Felssecker in Nuremberg and depicts the Russo-Turkish theater of war around the Black Sea in 1736-37. The locations of Russian and Turkish fortifications and troops are shown, including a long line of Russian fortifications extending across the Ukraine. An engraved sheet of parchment in the Black Sea contains a lettered key to identify various marches made by the troops. At right are four inset maps: three of which depict forts at Azov, Oczocou (Okzokov) at the mouth of the Dnieper River, and Bender, Moldova along the Dniester River; the fourth inset shows the important Bosphorus Strait and the city of Constantinople.

We've only found one other example of this map for sale in the last 30 years, and a handful of examples in institutions.
