Danielow Ivan, “Das Osmanische Reich in Europa / L’Empire Ottoman en Europe... 1815", Vienna, Mollo, 1820. Wall copper engraved map dim.111x106cm, printed separately in six sheets & attached on linen. Original green leather case of the map with blind-stamped decorations in gilt. Danielow’s map is the first semi-topographical map of the Balkan Peninsula and a significant cartographic improvement comparing to the 1805 Chanlaire’s or the 1811 Palma’s map. Danielow, a military officer and engineer was a close companion of the Austrian General Prince Schwarzenberg, who had contributed to the von Weiss’s map as a reference in this map clarifies. Danielow accompanied Prince Schwarzenberg in Russia in 1808 and later, accessing valuable cartographic material from the Russians. The Austian & France alliances, gave him also the opportunity to access the French cartographic material. All this valuable information was finally blended in the current map first published in late 1813, when the Napoleonic wars were evidently towards their end. A very important map for the mapping history of the Balkan Peninsula and Greece.
