This 18th-century map depicts the Duchy of Silesia, a region in central Europe that was contested between Prussia and Austria during the Silesian Wars. The anonymous cartographer created this detailed map, which shows the major cities, rivers, and mountains of the region. The map's style is typical of the period, with elaborate borders and decorative elements, including allegorical figures and a key to understanding the map's symbols. It’s a valuable document for historians studying the political and geographical history of the region during the mid-18th century.
