This very large beautifully hand coloured  original antique map of eastern Europe, Russia, The Balkans, Greece, Turkey and the Holy land was engraved in 1760 - dated in the tile cartouche - and was published in Jean-Baptiste Bourguinon D'Anville's large elephant folio atlas Atlas Generale.
An extremely detailed map showing the political boundaries of the day. Of most interest is the large Polish region stretching to the Ukraine.

These large maps are hard to find in such good condition and make fantastic historical reference tools due to the size and high level of detail as with all D'Anvilles work. (Ref: Tooley, M&B)
