HOMANN, JOHANN BAPTIST: MAP OF SLAVONIA AND SRIEM

The map of the Kingdom of Slavonija and the Duchy of Sriem by Homann’s heirs shows the situation as it was after the Peace Treaty of Požarevac concluded in 1718. Coloured in green is the Border land of Posavina (Slavonian Generalte), with a narrow zone of Bosnian Posavina integrated following the Peace Treaty of Požarevac into the Habsburg Monarchy. In the civilian part of Slavonia, as well as in the area of Sriem, the outlines of feudal estates are indicated. The map is based on Khevenhüller’s great map showing the region of Slavonia after the Peace Treaty of Požarevac. This is a reduced-size copy of that map.  The title of the map is in the upper right corner in a baroque cartouche containing the coat of arms of Bosnia. The cartouche is surrounded by Trenk’s hussars that, at the time of the creation of this map, participated, under the aegis of Mary Therese,  in war campaigns in which the Autstrians were involved.
