1892 / 1907 Relief Map of Europe
DESCRIPTION
This is an original antique relief map of Europe by the Atlas School Supply Company, constructed in 1907 out of their headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
The map offers a combination of political geography, physical topography, with rivers, lakes, mountains ranges, plateaus, etc. noted throughout. Larger towns, cities, capitols, and geo-political boundaries are also provided, while roads and railways are omitted from the map. A vertical scale at lower-right notes that the height of elevations is exaggerated 45 times.
The map presents Europe at the time of the duel-monarchy, Austro-Hungarian Empire that spanned the years of 1867 to 1918 or for more context, between the Austro-Prussian War and World War I. Geographically speaking, Austria-Hungary was the second largest country in Europe after Russia which takes up nearly half of the map and includes much of present-day Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
