This large hand-colored map entitled "Le Royaume De Hongrie et les Estats qui en ont este sujets et qui font presentement La Partie Septentrionale de la Turquie en Europe" was originally created by Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville. This version was published by Hubert Jaillot in "Atlas Nouveau" in Paris in 1692. It depicts all or part of Poland, Transylvania, Moldovia, Bessarabia, Romania, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Dalmatia, Slovenia, the Ukraine and the Adriatic and Black Sea Region. The map includes the Danube River, present day Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Krakow, and the Dalmatian Coast and multiple islands, as well as many other landmarks.
An ornate title cartouche in the left upper corner consists of 2 putti holding a royal crest, horses and two m mythical half men, half animal figures. A scale cartouche on the right is flanked by sword wielding warriors.
The map also includes a separate page from the original atlas which includes an alphabetical table of cities and villages within Hungary, along with another page showing the divisions of the Kingdom and the states of Hungary. It is very rare for these additional pages to be included with one of these maps.
The map consists of two sheets joined as one along a vertical joint. The map has original hand-coloring. It is printed on antique hand-made laid, chain-linked paper with wide margins. The sheet measures 24.88" high and 38" wide. There is a central vertical joint, as issued. There is mild color offset from the opposite side of the map resulting from having been in the atlas for hundreds of years. There is minimal discoloration in the margins, but the map is otherwise in very good condition. less
