A large and detailed map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, covering the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the duchies of Prussia, Courland, and Samogitia, as well as Mazovia, Volhynia, Podolia, Rus, Ukraine, and the western borderlands of Moscow, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. The map was engraved by Jacob Keyser and first published by Joachim Ottens in Amsterdam in 1719. After Joachim’s death, the plates passed into the hands of his sons, Reinier I and Josua Ottens, who, after 1726, reprinted the map under their own publishing imprint. In the second edition, the left-hand sheet remained unchanged from the first edition, while several minor changes were made to the cartographic content on the right-hand sheet.
