About the Item
Title: Antique Map of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, 1903, with Colorful Provincial Borders
Description:
This antique map, titled "Austro-Hungarian Monarchy," was engraved and published in 1903 by the renowned W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a detailed and colorful depiction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the height of its power, just before the sweeping changes of the early 20th century reshaped the region.
The map elegantly delineates the complex mosaic of provinces within the empire, including Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, Dalmatia, and many others, each highlighted in soft pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, and blue. Major cities like Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and Trieste are clearly marked, along with rivers, mountain ranges, and railways that knit the diverse regions together.
One of the map’s standout features is the inset map of the Adriatic coastline, titled "Continuation of Dalmatia," showcasing the maritime and strategic importance of the empire’s coastal territories. The precision and artistry of the engraving bring to life the rich cultural and geographical diversity that made the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy one of Europe’s great powers.
For collectors and history enthusiasts, this map is a window into the final decades of a multi-ethnic empire that played a central role in European affairs. It’s a reminder of a world on the verge of dramatic political upheaval, beautifully captured in the refined craftsmanship of Johnston’s cartography.
Condition report:
This map is in very good antique condition, with minimal foxing and slight edge toning typical for its age. The colors remain vibrant and the paper is well-preserved.
Framing tips:
A dark wooden frame in walnut or cherry will enhance the soft pastel tones and add a sense of warmth and sophistication. Pair it with a cream or off-white matting to highlight the detailed engraving and create a refined and timeless focal point for any home, library, or study.
