This miniature map of eastern Europe extends from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, and depicts major towns and key topographical features. This is the second state with some nomenclature added.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on watermarked paper with a stain in the top border. There is light toning and dampstains along the edges of the sheet.
