8' x 10.5', original outline hand color. Light foxing and one marginal tear. Poland as it appeared before a third of its territory and half of its population were taken by Austria, Russia, and Prussia in the partition of 1772. In 1795, as a result of two other partitions by the same countries, Poland ceased to exist as an independent nation. Neat vignette of a war scene in the upper right corner.
