This finely detailed mid-19th century regional map depicts the extensive eastern territories of the Habsburg Empire and surrounding regions, encompassing Hungary, Galicia, Transylvania, Croatia-Slavonia, Dalmatia, and the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Published in Gotha by Justus Perthes for Stielers Hand-Atlas (1853 revised edition), the map captures a pivotal geopolitical landscape shortly following the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–1849 and prior to the Crimean War. Cities such as Pesth, Buda, Lemberg, Klausenburg, Belgrade, and Bucharest are clearly identified alongside major regional transportation networks and administrative districts. The visual layout reflects the precision of 19th-century German cartography, utilizing dense topographical hachuring to illustrate mountain systems including the Carpathians, Dinaric Alps, and Balkan ranges. A formal oval cartouche in the upper right displays the title and revised publication date, while a detailed legend in the lower right outlines the contemporary administrative divisions of the region.

Condition: Light age toning along the outer sheet margins with minor handling smudges.. Engraved line work remains crisp and impression is clean throughout the image area.. Original hand-colored boundary outlines remain vivid and well-preserved.
