Title
A New Map of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Shewing their Dismemberments and Divisions between Austria, Russia and Prussia in 1772, 1793, & 1795.
Description
English: A nice example of John Cary’s rare 1799 map of Poland. Covers the entire block of territory claimed by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) from the Baltic Sea south to Hungary and eastward as far as Russia. This map is designed to illustrate the partitioning of Poland between Austria, Russia and Prussia at the end of the 18th century – just a few years before this map was published. Russia claimed the bulk of what once comprised the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from Livonia south to Moldava. Prussia claimed the territory east of Warsaw and south to Galicia. The Austrian Empire annexed Galicia. Poland remained thus divided until the end of World War I. In 1919 United States President Woodrow Wilson called for the reconstitution of Poland in his historic Fourteen Points. This map was prepared in 1799 by John Cary for issue in his magnificent 1808 New Universal Atlas .
