A Map of Russia.

SPEED, John.

Origin: London, Bassett & Chiswell, 1676.

Engraved by Francis Lamb for Speed's 'Prospect of the World'. Although the Prospect first appeared in 1627 (two years before Speed's death), this map only appeared in the 1676 edition. A large title cartouche of Russian costumes, an inset plan of Moscow and five vignette views make this a very decorative map. On verso is an English-text "Description of Russia".

Condition: Coloured; some expert repairs to shorts splits at the edges of the paper, other minor paper fault repairs, visible when held up to the light, otherwise overall a good example.

Size: 400 x 505mm (15¾ x 20 inches).

Price: £2150

ANON.

Origin: [Paris, c.1760].

A battle plan from the Seven Years War. This one shows the Battle of Lobositz or Lowositz on 1 October 1756. It was the opening land battle of the Seven Years War. Frederick the Great's 29,000 Prussians prevented Field Marshal Maximilian Ulysses Count Browne with 34,500 Austrians from relieving their besieged Saxon allies during the Siege of Pirna. The Prussians and the Austrians lost about 2,900 men each. The Austrian army retreated and Browne even managed to slip a force around the Prussians towards the besieged Saxons, but it was too little too late. The Saxon army at Pirna surrendered on 14 October before the relief force arrived and Saxony surrendered the next day. Both Prussian and Austrian armies then retreated into their winter quarters. The map has a paste over of the battle action.
