The title mentions the Myonischen Reich, a nation in India which rose against the British in the late 18th century supported by the French.
Johann Matthias Christoph Reinecke (1770- 1818) produced 16 maps for the "Industrie Comptoir" between 1798 and 1802, when he left and resumed his profession as teacher.
