- Description
-
This map of the city of Lviv, published in 1873 by the F. H. Richter bookstore, contains renamed streets.
The book seller financed the re-printing of this map which was first printed between 1855 and 1863.
A unique feature of this map is that the four districts are colored by hand: Districts I and III in blue and districts II and IV in red.
Legend:
- In the middle of the lower edge is the name: “Map of Lviv” (Plan von Lemberg).
