Very rare large and highly detailed map of the Kingdom of Hungary, published in Milan (1737) by Marcantonio Dal Re (Bologna 1697 - Milan 1766).
The map includes all or part of Poland, Transylvania, Moldovia, Bessarabia, Romania, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Dalmatia, Slovenia, the Ukraine and the Adriatic and Black Sea Region. Includes two large decorative cartouches.
Cartographically speaking, it is a derivation of the influential map that Alexis Hubert Jaillot published in early 18th century in Paris.
The map is dedicated to Otto Ferdinand Graf von Abensberg und Traun (Ödenburg, 27 August 1677 - Hermannstadt, 18 February 1748), an Austrian military officer who rose to the rank of field marshal. During the War of Polish Succession, in 1734 he was among the officers sent to the Kingdom of Naples to counter the Spanish invasion. Following the evacuation of Capua, he was recalled to Vienna and sent to Hungary as commander of the military campaign to suppress the unrest that had broken out there. He was then sent by Emperor Charles VI to Lombardy as governor of the Duchy of Milan (1736-1743).
Born in Bologna, he moved to Milan in 1723 or '24 and lived there until his death. He was a copperplate engraver, chalcographer and publisher of his own prints, which he was already selling in 1726 'all'insegna dell'Aquila imperiale in contrada S. Margherita'; he then moved in 1739 to 'P.zza Mercanti al Portico superiore delle Scuole Palatine' in the loggia degli Osii that he had obtained' rented following his request to the vicar of Providence to have bright rooms suitable for his activity. Here he also opened a free school of engraving and drawing in 1744, so much so that he believed he was entitled to stop paying rent because he occupied premises to be considered public use, and at his own expense he had made improvements including closing the openings in the loggia. Dal Rè's production was not only copious, but also varied, including prints commenting on the chronicle and history events of his time, from city ceremonies to events of wider importance; devotional subjects, portraits, maps, pictorial sonnets for theatre artists, cartoons for books and city plans. The battles fought by the Franco-Piemontese (1733-34) during the War of Polish Succession had Dal Re as a keen observer.
A large part of his engravings can be found in the Civica Raccolta delle stampe Achille Bertarelli in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, where, however, this extremely rare map of Hungary is not kept. We have only surveyed in the cartographic collection of the Bibliotheca Nationalis Hungarica.
