The course of the Danube and its tributaries across the northwestern Balkans is the focus of this handsome map. It shows the political divisions of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Dalmatia and locates even the tiniest hamlets. The title is enclosed in a strapwork title cartouche that credits the map to Gerard Mercator. The coats of arms of the Venetian Republic, Habsburg Monarchy, and Ottoman Empire reflect the power struggle that dominated this region. French text on verso, published between 1635-38.

References: Van der Krogt (Vol. II) #7601:2A.

Condition: B+

Full contemporary color with some light dampstaining at left and right.
