This handsome map covers the majority of Austria, extending south to Graz and omitting the narrow western corridor, with fine detail of the Danube. The topography of the region is intricately rendered, and there are several place names identified. It shows the fortifications of Vienna and is adorned with a military-themed title cartouche. This is the second state, with the date and privilege removed from the title cartouche.

References: Pedley #277.

Condition: B+

A sharp impression with contemporary outline color and later color in the cartouche, on a bright sheet with the watermark of a Maltese cross encircled in rosary beads. There is light toning along the centerfold and edges of the sheet, as well as marginal soiling.

Estimate: $80 - $100

Sold for: $60
