This fine map of the Hungarian Empire is centered on the Danube River from Vienna to Belgrade and is densely engraved with tiny towns, political boundaries, mountains, and the river systems in the region. The title cartouche has strange part-human, part-beast creatures being subdued by a putto with a flaming sword. Engraved by J. Harris.
