This handsome French map covers the region between the Baltic and Moscow. It spans as far north as the Golfe de Livonia (Gulf of Riga) and as far south as the Black Sea's northern shore, centering on the marshlands of present-day Belarus. Several cities are identified, including Vienna, Gdansk, Poznan, Krakow, Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, Leopol (Lviv), Kyiv, Hrodna, Smolensk, and Belgorod. The islands of Bornholm, Oland, and Gotland are located in the Baltic.
