Description
Published in Vienna by Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly in Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt mit beständiger Rücksicht auf die besten Originalwerke in drey Theile zusammengetragen von einer Gesselschaft Geographen nach zu Büschings Grosser Erdbeschreibung.
Reilly (1766-1820) published the Atlas at the rate of one map per week for 17 years from June 1789 to July 1806, producing, in total, some 830 maps of Europe. A third part of the atlas was planned to cover the rest of the world, but was never published.
As can be deduced from the title of the Atlas in which the map was first published, the author of the drawing was the German cartographer Anton Friederich Büschings and the engraver was Ignaz Albrecht. The Atlas was published by the Viennese art dealer Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (1766-1820) who produced at least 830 maps between 1789 and 1806 - right in the period of the Napoleonic campaigns, when the borders were rather labile - and those concerning Italy were published between August 1797 and June 1799.
Etching, printed on blue paper and with editorial colouring, in excellent condition.

He was a Viennese art dealer who in his early twenties turned to map publishing, and between the years 1789 and 1806 produced a total of no less than 830 maps. His Schauplatz…der Welt (World Atlas) in fact covered only maps of Europe, whilst the Grosser Deutscher Atlas also included maps of other continents and was, therefore, the first World Atlas produced by an Austrian.
1789-1806 Schauplatz der funf Theile der Welt
1794-96 Grosser Deutscher Atlas
