Engraved by Liébaux, this detailed and finely rendered map of the Peloponnese is designed to show the respective possessions of the Venetians and Turks, during the War of the Holy League (1683-98). Around the title cartouche are medallion inset town plans of the towns captured by the Venetians. However their dominion in the Morea was short-lived, as it was returned to the Turks at the Treaty of Passarowitz in 1718 at the conclusion of the Turkish-Venetian war (1714-18).
