The map appears to be unfinished: the key describes the letters ‘hh’ as the attack of the ‘aile duritte’, but these letters are not to be found on the map; also, the letters ‘rr’, indicating the Turkish retreat to Belgrade, appear to be absent.
Additional text: [top left, below title, a list of general officers, a key, A-I, K-M, O-Z, a-i, k-u, w, II-IX, XI-XVI, aa-dd, to the names of the regiments drawn up in order of battle, and an ‘Explication’ ee-hh, mm, nn, rr, to aspects of the battle.]
Condition: four fold lines; five punched holes to left edge and seven punched holes to right edge. Verso: waterstained along left edge; heavy surface dirt along right edge, the pattern of the surface dirt is consistent with the map having been tied in a roll.
