This boldly engraved map of the Transylvanian region is quite uncommon. Rivers and mountains dominate the map with the locations of cities and villages carefully noted. The title and a notation are enclosed in a cartouche festooned with military flags and cannon. Cantelli pioneered this bold engraving style that was followed and further developed by Coronelli. The map was published in conjunction with Giacomo Giovanni de Rossi.
