Description

A large and detailed wall map, depicting the boundaries of Europe as settled by the Congress of Vienna (1814-5), settling the changes caused by the Napoleonic War. Besides these borders this map is interesting for its depiction of the coach roads and use of hachuring to display relief. Maximilian de Traux (c.1765-c1830) was a colonel of the Austrian military engineers. From 1803 he was active in Dalmatia, improving the defences of Zadar, but also surveying Dalmatia (with a map published 1810) and its cities.
