Clear and accurate map of early nineteenth century Hungary, which at the time included large parts of modern day Romania, Croatia and Serbia. A table on lower edge contains four scales and gives information on the Gespanschafts. John Cary was considered 'the most representative, able and prolific of English cartographers'. Tooley says, 'As an engraver he was elegant and exact with fine clear lettering and great delicacy of touch'.
Fine condition.
