About the Item
Antique Map of the Kingdom of Hungary and Surrounding Regions by S. Robert, circa 1780
This beautifully engraved map titled Royaume de Hongrie, Principauté de Transilvanie, Esclavonie, Croatie, et partie de la Principauté de Valaquie, de la Bosnie, de la Servie et de la Bulgarie was created by the French geographer S. Robert around 1780. The map offers a comprehensive view of the Kingdom of Hungary at a time when it was a crucial territory within the Habsburg Monarchy. It includes not only Hungary but also Transylvania, Slavonia, Croatia, and parts of modern-day Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, and Bulgaria.
The map’s elaborate title cartouche, found in the upper left corner, features classical motifs such as foliage, armor, and banners, emphasizing the political and military importance of the region. It is signed "Par le Sr. Robert, Géographe," clearly identifying the mapmaker. S. Robert was active in Paris in the latter part of the 18th century and is known for producing detailed regional maps during a time of significant geopolitical change in Europe.
The geography is rendered with fine detail, showing cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges, all engraved with precision. Political boundaries are hand-colored in yellow, green, and red to distinguish various regions and principalities. The Danube River, a defining feature of Central Europe, flows prominently through the center of the map. Important cities such as Buda, Pest, Pressburg (Bratislava), Temeswar, and Hermannstadt (Sibiu) are clearly marked, along with the major road networks and fortifications of the time.
This map offers valuable insight into the territorial complexity of southeastern Europe before the Napoleonic Wars and long before the unification of many of its modern nations. It would have served scholars, diplomats, and military strategists during an era of imperial expansion and frontier management.
Condition:
The map is in good condition for its age. Original fold lines as issued. The paper shows mild age toning, with a few minor creases and faint spots.. The engraved details remain sharp, and the hand-colored borders are still vibrant and clear. There is some minor edge wear, but nothing affecting the main printed area.
Framing suggestion:
This historic map would be beautifully complemented by a classic dark wood or mahogany frame, ideally with a soft ivory or light beige archival mat to highlight the intricate detail. UV-resistant glass is recommended to protect the print from fading over time. A vertical frame layout suits its format and makes it ideal for display in a study, hallway, or office.

Detailed Antique Map of Hungary and Transylvania by Tirion, 1753
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Nieuwe Kaart van’t Koninkryk Hongaryen en Zevenbergen by Isaak Tirion, 1753 – Antique Map of Hungary and Transylvania
Description: This is an antique 1753 map titled *Nieuwe Kaart van’t Koninkryk Hongaryen en Zevenbergen*, created by the notable Dutch cartographer and publisher Isaak Tirion. The map showcases the Kingdom of Hungary and the region of Transylvania (referred to as "Zevenbergen") as they appeared in the mid-18th century. Tirion’s maps are well-known for their clarity, precision, and attention to geographic detail, making them highly sought after by collectors of antique maps.
This map provides a detailed view of Hungary and Transylvania, including borders, towns, cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. It was created using the latest discoveries and updates of the time and reflects the political landscape of the region, which was part of the Habsburg Empire during a period of territorial changes and consolidations. The map’s borders are highlighted with color to distinguish different regions, and significant cities such as Buda, Pest, and Debrecen are clearly labeled.
Isaak Tirion was one of the most prominent Dutch publishers of the 18th century, particularly known for his *Nieuwe en Beknopte Hand-Atlas* (New and Concise Hand Atlas) series, which included a wide range of maps of Europe and beyond. His works were appreciated for their cartographic accuracy and artistic quality.
This map is a valuable piece for collectors interested in 18th-century European maps, particularly those that highlight Central Europe, Hungary, Transylvania, and the Habsburg Empire. It is a fine example of the craftsmanship of Isaak Tirion and offers insight into the historical geography of the region.
