Showing the Black Sea region. Uncommon map from the "Atlas Selectus" by the German cartographer Johann Georg Schreiber (1676-1750). Schreiber followed in the footsteps of his father, Johann Christoph as a cartographer, and in 1741 he published his Atlas Selectus, which was republished in 1749. A visually attractive German map, typical of German cartography of this date, with much detail provided, especially for such a small map. A text column at right explains abbreviations used on the map. Reference: Phillips/LeGear 609 - 11: 6017. (Paulus Swaen)
