1773 [dated]  Tobias Mayer – Homann Heirs (publisher): “Mappa Geographica Regni Poloniae ex novissimis quot quot sunt mappis specialibus composita et ad L.L. stereographica projectionis / revocata a Tob. Mayero, S.C.S…” Nuremberg, in versions colored to show results of the First, 1772, Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Mayer’s name is still followed by “S.C.S.,” but now “Homanianos Heredes” in the cartouche is followed by “C.P.S.C.M.” or “Cum Privilegio Sacræ Cæsaræ Majestatis” — Mayer died in 1772, long after he stopped making maps for Homann Heirs, and now the copyright to his maps is officially owned by Homann Heirs. The map was issued in at least 3 states: 1750, 1757 and 1773.
