Banat Maps
Banat 1789 Franz Joseph von Reilly was a Viennese goldsmith, mapmaker and publisher who flourished at the end of the 18th century. He produced very detailed maps, especially of eastern Europe, and this is a fine example. Taken from the publication "Schauplatz der funf Theile der Welt" (roughly translated, Showplace of the Five Parts of the the World) it depicts the Banat of Temesvar, a region in southern Hungary, bordering the River Danube. The map features early wash hand coloring, a decorative title cartouche and three scales at the bottom left hand corner. The map is in fine condition and printed on thick paper without folds. It measures 8.5" by 11.5" and has wide blank margins. The engraving is over 200 years old. View Banat Map of 1789
