Mountains & Rivers Map of Galicia & Bukovina after 1885

A hypsometric tinted relief map of Galicia and Bukovina showing mountain ranges with elevations and waterways, produced by Freytag & Berndt of Vienna after 1885. Curiously, while the landscape folds are depicted in colorful detail, and large- and medium-sized rivers are named, cities and towns are indicated by initial letters only, apparently to avoid obstructing the illustrated topography. Single image sourced by Jay Osborn from the Polona Digital Library (an initiative of the National Library of Poland).
