It's should be from 1878-1885, as it shows Eastern Rumelia as a somewhat separate state. It was an autonomous province of Bulgaria for that 8 years; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Rumelia

I couldn't find anything to narrow it even more.

But it has some errors, e.g. Austria wa called Austria-Hungary at that time

Those older maps with overlay drawings were so cool

I love how Corsica has a picture of Napoleon.

I never understood if it was Prussia or already Germany before WW1

Prussian Kingdom was technically one state in the German Empire. But since the Prussian king was the emperor, distinction between them was somewhat artificial.

Pre-Balkan wars even.
