With ornamental title cartouche and French title above the map ("Carte des Etats ... de Pologne"). Orig. old colouring. 47:51 cm (18 /12 x 20 inch.).

The map extends from Glogau and Breslau in the West, to Braclaviensis in the South along the Dniestr River, east to the Dniepr River and Mscislaw and north to include parts of Lithuania, although Curland seperates Poland from the Lithuanian Sea. A note in French below the lower left margin notes that the violet colour identifies the regions lost by Poland in 1772.
