Note:
Erben's political and topographical map of the Kingdom of Bohemia, 73x95 dissected into 32 sections, backed with linen, folded into a brown cloth covered case, with title "Politicka a mistopisna mapa Cech" in gilt. Published by K. Jansky in Jindrichuv Hradec and Tabor, and printed by the Institute for Lithography Bedrich Sandtner in Wenceslaus Square, in Prague. Shows administrative divisions, cities, towns, roads and rivers. Includes title cartouche surmounted by the two tailed lion coat of arms of Bohemia, legend and list of places. Map issued at a time when Bohemia was pushing for a "tripartite monarchy" with Austria and Hungary, the map provides remarkable detail, noting every town of more than 300 inhabitants, along with roads, railroad lines, post offices, telegraph stations, churches, monasteries and a host of other information. Certainly one of the most detailed maps of the period.
