During the War of the Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748), which comprises also the First Silesian War, the Austrians under Prince Charles of Lorraine fought against Prussia under Frederick the Great (Friedrich der Grosse). In the Battle of Czaslau (Caslav) of 1742 the Prussians defeated the Austrians. This kind of military maps, published for a special event, was often printed on thin paper and poorly preserved and is therefore rare. - Mounted; very lightly foxed, but a good copy. [(5784)].
