A rare and beautiful 1872 chromolithograph map of Bohemia (today's Czech Republic) by Czech publisher Josef Erben. This map is significant as, issued during a time of Czech cultural revival and growing nationalism, it represents one of the first maps of Bohemia issued fully in Czech. As such, it is one of the first maps to employ and promote Czech cartographic terminology, which lacking established native cartographic tradition, Erben had to invent from scratch. The terminology presented here had a significant influence on other Czech and subsequent Slavic cartography, who took inspiration from Erben's vocabulary. (more details)

An extremely rare find, this 1938 Eliasz Kanarek and Tadeusz Lipski pictorial nature map of Poland was created for the 1939 New York World's Fair. Meant to be a handout for attendees, Kanarek and Lipski composed this beautiful work to celebrate Poland State Forests and their flora and fauna. The not-so-kind illustrations of Germans and Soviets along the national borders, underscore Poland's precarious situation between aggressive powers. German and Soviet delegations who felt they were insultingly depicted, complained and the map was censured. Nonetheless, within four months of the World's Fair's launch, the mapmaker's fears proved valid and Nazi Germany invaded Poland launching World War II (1939 - 1945). Not all is serious, however. Some fantastical elements are included, among them a pink deer near Bialystok, a mermaid near Warsaw, and Krakow's fierce blue dragon. Both Kanarek and Lipski appear as well, discussing their work by a cartouche situated in the lower left corner. (more details)
