William Faden Map of the Third Partition of Poland 1799

Historic map of the Third Partition of Poland by the British publisher William Faden, published in 1799. The very detailed map shows the 'dismemberment' of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (bordered in pink) into Russian (beige), Prussian (yellow), and Austrian (green) partitions; Austrian Galicia is included in the green partition. The map also shows key land and water features, includes notes about the first partition, and an estimate of populations in the divided regions.
