"Poland", Gibson, John

Great scarce map of Poland that extends from the Oder River in the west and the Dnieper River in the east, as well as north of the Carpathian Mountains to the Baltic Sea; thus extending from modern day Poland into parts of modern Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. Rivers, forested areas, and numerous geo-political subdivisions, including Courland, Samgotia, Prussia, Pomerenia, Podolia, and Warsovia, are shown. The map is adorned with a decorative title cartouche and a compass rose, and appeared in Thomas Salmon's The Universal Traveller: or a Compleat Description of the Several Nations of the World.
