This mammoth folding map is filled with great detail of the postal routes throughout Europe. There are interesting political boundaries, with the Austrian Empire encompassing much of central and eastern Europe, the Kingdom of Prussia extending through Germany and much of Poland, and the Balkans forming part of the Ottoman Empire. 8 distance scales are located at bottom right. The map was "Dedicated to the Defender of the Rights and Interests of Poland" by Lord Dudley Stuart. Decorated by a keyboard-style border and fancy titling. Dissected and backed with linen.
