Description
A large and impressive map of Central Europe including Hungary, the Danube Delta, Transylvania, Walachia, Moldavia, Croatia, Bosnia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, Morlachia and the Republic of Ragusa.
Distressed and warring figures appear alongside the title cartouche, while the powerful and triumphant Hapsburgs, as indicated by the double-headed eagle, stand above the defeated figures of the Ottoman Empire. The map emphatically depicts this European supremacy.
From Atlas minor sive geographia compendiosa in qua orbid terrarum paucis attamen novissimis tablulis ostenditur - Atlas nouveau contenant toutes les parties du monde o๠sont exactement remarquées les empires, monarchies, royaumes,états, républiques, &c. Amsterdam, R. & J. Ottens.
A fine impression, with nice original colour, good condition.

The family business of print and map selling was founded by Joachim Ottens but the active period of map publishing was concentrated in the years between 1720 and 1750 when the brothers, Reiner and Joshua, produced enormous collections of maps, some as large as 15 volumes.
These, including copies of practically all maps available at the time, were made up to order and were magnificently coloured. Besides these specially prepared collections they also issued single-volume atlases with varying contents as well as pocket atlases.
