This late 19th-century engraved map depicts the mountainous region of Montenegro and its immediate surroundings, bounded by Herzegovina to the northwest, Albania to the east and south, and the Adriatic Sea to the west. Detailed topographic hachuring highlights the rugged terrain of the Black Mountain nation, delineating notable settlements such as the royal capital of Cetinje, Podgoritza, Niksic, Cattaro (Kotor), and Antivari, alongside the expanse of the Lake of Scutari. The territorial borders are outlined in a delicate yellow wash, showcasing the country's expanded nineteenth-century frontiers. Engraved by R. D. Servoss of New York, the sheet includes printed travel commentary below the map frame detailing the forbidding geography and the ascent of the historic 'ladder of Cattaro.' Printed as page 277 of a contemporary travel publication, the print provides rich historical context regarding Western perception and exploration of the Balkan Peninsula during the late Ottoman and Balkan state-building era.
