Its title, a serio-comic war map for the year 1877, marks it as a satirical take on current events rather than a plain cartographic record. Maps of this kind blended geographic outlines with caricature and wry captions, and they were popular in the nineteenth century as a way to comment on military rivalries and diplomacy. The year 1877 saw the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War, a likely backdrop for a piece like this, though the record does not name the conflict it depicts. The associated name, Waldstein, comes from an unverified shelflist card, and no date is recorded for the print.
