The map of the Ottoman Empire's holdings in Europe comes from probably one of the most popular German atlases of the 19th century, "Meyer's Zeitungs-Atlas", printed in the highly influential Schweinfurter Geographische Gravieranstalt des Bibliographischen Institut with subsidiaries in Amsterdam and Philadelphia (USA). The map with shading shows the final range of the Ottoman Empire to the Glina River. Montenegro, which was never completely occupied, is also shaded. the location of Belgrade is shown in a separate box in the lower left corner, and the location of Sarajevo is indicated on the right-hand side.
