La mappa fu stampata nel mezzo della guerra russo-turca del 1768-1774. Lotter e altri editori hanno fornito al pubblico mappe su cui poter seguire l'avanzamento di questo conflitto.La guerra russo-turca del 1768-1774 fu un conflitto decisivo che portò l'Ucraina meridionale, il Caucaso settentrionale e la Crimea nell'orbita dell'Impero russo. Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717 - 1777) fu un incisore ed editore di mappe tedesco. Lotter sposò Euphrosina Seutter (1709-1784), figlia maggiore dell’editore Matthäus Seutter. Cominciò a lavorare nell'attività cartografica del suocero verso il 1740. Tra il 1740 e il 1744 produsse, sotto la direzione di Seutter, l'Atlas minor, Praecipua orbis terrarum imperia, regna et provincias, Germania potissimum tabelli. Alla morte di Seutter (1757), gli successe suo figlio, Albrecht Karl Seutter (1722-1762). Le lastre delle mappe di Suetter furono successivamente divise tra Lotter e l'editore Johan Mitchell Probst (1727 - 1776). Con il sostegno dei suoi figli, Tobias Conrad Lotter riuscì a costruire il successo economico e la reputazione professionale del suocero. Col tempo, Lotter divenne uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della metà del XVIII secolo che lavoravano nella scuola tedesca.

Embellished with three compass roses and sailing vessels, including a scene on a naval battle in the Atlantic off of Gibraltar.The map was printed in the middle of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774. Lotter and other published provided the public with maps on which they could follow the progress of this conflict.The Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774 was a decisive conflict that brought Southern Ukraine, Northern Caucasus, and Crimea within the orbit of the Russian Empire.Following the border incident at Balta, Sultan Mustafa III declared war on Russia on September 25, 1768. The Turks formed the alliance with the Polish opposition forces of the Bar Confederation, while Russia was supported by Great Britain, who offered naval advisers to the Imperial Russian Navy.The Polish opposition was defeated by Aleksandr Suvorov. After that, he was transferred to the Turkish theatre of operations, where in 1773 and 1774 he won several minor and major battles for Russia following the previous successes of the Russian Field-Marshal Count Peter Rumiantsev at Larga and Kagul. Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717 - 1777) was a German engraver and map publisher. Lotter married Euphrosina Seutter (1709-1784), elder daughter of Matthäus Seutter. He began working at his is father-in-law's map business about 1740. Between 1740 and 1744 he produced, under Seutter's imprint, the Atlas minor, Praecipua orbis terrarum imperia, regna et provincias, Germania potissimum tabelli. Upon Seutter's death, in 1757, the firm's stock was taken over by his son, Albrecht Karl Seutter (1722-1762), who himself died in 1762, just a few years later. The remaining Suetter map plates were subsequently divided between Lotter and the publisher Johan Mitchell Probst (1727 - 1776). With the support of his sons, Matthäus Albrecht (1741-1810), Georg Friedrich (1744-1801) and Gustav Conrad (1746-1776), Tobias Conrad Lotter succeeded in building on the economic success and professional reputation of his father-in-law. In time, Lotter became one of the most prominent mid-18th century map publishers working in the German school. Copperplate with fine original colouring, good condition.
