Original mid-19th century folding map of “Ungarn mit seinen Nebenländern und Galizien” (Hungary with its neighbouring lands and Galicia), printed in Weimar in 1852 by the Geographisches Institut. Drawn by the renowned cartographer H. Kiepert, this detailed political and topographical map reflects the territorial structure of the Austrian Empire during a pivotal period of Central European history. The map remains housed in its original hardcover atlas binding and retains excellent period character.
This map was produced in 1852, during the era of the Austrian Empire following the revolutions of 1848–49. It depicts the Kingdom of Hungary, Galicia, Dalmatia, and surrounding regions under Habsburg administration, with political divisions, railway lines, rivers, and relief clearly marked.
Cartographer Heinrich Kiepert was one of the most respected German geographers of the 19th century, and maps issued by the Weimar Geographical Institute are known for their precision and clarity. This example represents a transitional political landscape shortly before the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 reshaped the empire’s internal structure.
The map measures approximately 65 x 52.5 cm when fully extended. It remains complete and structurally intact, with original fold lines as issued.
There is visible age toning and foxing consistent with mid-19th century paper, particularly along fold lines and backing cloth, but no major losses or tears affecting the cartography. The original hardcover atlas binding is present and structurally sound, showing expected handling wear. Overall, a well-preserved example with strong display presence.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
