Description
The map was drawn by the royal military engineer Johann Friedrich (Franz) Ottinger (fl. ca 1734-1765) to illustrate the events of the Austro-Turkish War of 1737-1739.
The coverage extends from the Dalmatian coast to Walachia to the city of Nissa, including Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, and parts of Slovenia and Bulgaria.
The map is surrounded by 25 views and plans, illustrating Banialucka (Banja Luka), Belgrad (Beograd), Brodt (Slavonski Brod), Carlstadt (Karlovac), Chatchek (Cacak), Esseck (Osijek), Krakoievaz (Kragujevac), Nicopolis (Nikopol), Nissa (Nis), Orsava (Orsova), Peterwardin (Petrovaradin), Ratscha (Raca), Sabatz (Sabac), Seraglio (Sarajevo), Temeswar (Timisoara), Ussitza (Uzice), Valiova (Valjevo), Vipalancka (Palanka), Widdin (Vidin), Wihaz (Bihac), and Zwornek (Zvornik).
There is an unusual foldout on the left side that expands coverage to include the Dalmatia. Few examples of the map retain the foldout !
Austro-Turkish War (1737 - 1739): In the long list of conflicts between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, this war is often barely a footnote. The war was an extension of the Russo-Turkish War (1735-1739). Under Hapsburg Charles VI (1685 - 1740) Austria entered the war as an ally of Russia, leading to Austro-Turkish conflicts in the Balkans. Austrian forces proved ineffective against the Turks, despite the fact that the Ottomans were fighting a 2-front war.
In the Balkans, Austria lost the Battle of Banja Luka in August of 1737, the Battle of Grocka in July of 1739, and were driven out of Belgrade after an Ottoman siege from July to September 1739. Austria finally signed the Belgrade Peace on September 18, 1739.
Census and Publication History: Most scholarship dates this map to 1736, however research of the events depicted suggest a later date of 1739. Many surviving examples do not have the fold out. This map appears to have been issued separately but is sometimes found bound into various Homann atlases.

We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
