1757263153London: The London Magazine 1757. unbound. Miniature map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 4.75" x 6.75".<br/><br/> This unusual plan of Prague was published by The London Magazine just a few months following the 1757 Battle of Prague. Oriented with north facing left it depicts the position of the two armies with a key in the bottom margin locating the positions of the artillery reserves batteries and mortars of the Prussian Army on the map. The Battle of Prague part of the Seven Years' War was fought between the Prussians and the Austrians for control of Prague and its surroundings. Although Frederick The Great from Prussia eventually succeeded in forcing the Austrians to retreat he was unable to take the city due to the heavy losses. A beautiful title cartouche adorns the bottom right corner. Most likely engraved by Thomas Kitchin. The map is in very good condition with narrow bottom margin.
