Attractive small map filled with an incredible amount of information of the region surrounding the Black Sea. The names of the regions are abbreviated and keyed to the panel at right. Embellished with a compass rose and a title cartouche featuring two soldiers and a ship. There is evidence of two short cracks in the panel at right.

A nice impression with full contemporary color with light toning and foxing. There are two small worm holes in the top margin and a short centerfold separation in the bottom margin.
