A spectacularly informative full-color and highly detailed statistical map of Galicia and Bukovina, on 10 sheets, in Polish and German languages, from 1878. Created by Jarosław Michałowski under the direction of Maksymilian Bodyński of the Lwów Chamber of Commerce and Industry, this map is a valuable snapshot of administrative, communication, agricultural, and a huge variety of industrial activities annotated directly on the map.
