Detailed map of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Lusatia, published in London by Laurie & Whittle.
The map incorporates the modern day Czech Republic, Slovakia and the southern part of Poland.
James Whittle (1757-1818) was a British engraver and map printer. Whittle was employed by Robert Sayer (ca. 1725-1794). Together with Robert Laurie (1755?-1836), he took on Sayer’s business when the older man died in 1794. The two traded together as Laurie & Whittle until 1812, when Laurie retired. They had specialized in sea charts and maritime atlases. Whittle then partnered with Laurie’s son, Richard Holmes Laurie, until he died in 1818.
