Rare Broadside of Russo-Turkish War in 1736

"Charte der Kriegs Operatione am Donn u Dnieper Ihro Russich Kayserl Maiestaet Glorieusen Armeen A: 1736...", Seutter, Matthias

This rare broadside depicts the events of the Russo-Turkish War between March and July 1736. The map shows the theater of war in southern Ukraine, Crimea and the Sea of Azov. The boundary between Russian and Ottoman control is delineated, and the route of the Russian Army in its expedition against the Tartars is depicted, along with fortifications and encampments. The map provides excellent detail of the Ukrainian line - a system of defenses from the Dnieper to the Don Rivers. Seutter based this map on one published by the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg for use of the Russian Army, and then added columns of German text surrounding the map that give thorough, almost daily details of the actions between March and July 1736. Full sheet with text measures 26.4 x 22.6".
