Additional Details

Finely detailed atlas of Hungary at the turn of the nineteenth century. Stylistically, it is reminiscent of the popular English county atlases produced by John Cary in the late eighteenth century. The work is rare with less than 10 institutional copies located and records of its only appearing once at auction, in 1996 (the present copy).
