This lovely two-sheet map covers all of Bohemia with the region divided into circolos (okres). A small portion of the middle section of Bohemia is duplicated on each sheet, so that Prague is shown on both sheets. A key identifies cities (both walled and without walls), castles, villages, postal stops, and hot and cold baths. Each sheet stands on its own with full borders and a decorative title cartouche depicting a rural scene. Drawn by G. Zuliani and engraved by G. Pitteri.
