Kaart van Zuidoost-Europa 1738

This 1738 map by Dutch cartographer Jan Punt depicts the theatre of war in Southeast Europe along the Dnieper, Tira and Danube rivers. The map was published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg and features various geographical features, including the Black Sea (Mare Nigrum), as well as political territories, such as Hungary, Moldavia, Wallachia, Romania, and Tataria. The detailed, almost decorative, depiction of the map's features illustrates the cartographic skills of the artist. The map is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
