Hartleben's Travel Guide Map of Galicia 1914

An historic map of Galicia from a travel guidebook to the region written by Orłowicz and Kordys, printed by Freytag & Berndt, and published by A. Hartleben's Verlag of Vienna and Leipzig in 1914. This was probably the last written guide to Galicia before the region ceased to exist as a political entity. The map includes all major and many minor cities, mountains, and rivers, and shows recommended travel routes (primarily by train) between key sights of the region corresponding to the text. The original paper document is in the extensive map collection of Harrie Teunissen and John Steegh; this image was donated to Gesher Galicia on the 100th anniversary of the guidebook.
