Austria–Hungary Map with Vienna Inset – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, Leiden 1876
This richly detailed 19th-century map titled “Oostenrijk” depicts the territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire shortly after its transformation into the Dual Monarchy in 1867. Published in 1876 in the Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand by M. Frijlink, fully revised by A. van Otterloo and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden, the map presents one of Europe’s most complex historical regions with clarity and sophistication.
The map encompasses the full expanse of the empire as it existed in the late 19th century, including Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Galicia, Bukovina, Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia-Slavonia, Dalmatia, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Tyrol, and the Adriatic coastline. Borders between these crown lands are marked in soft hand-colored lines, while dense networks of towns, roads, rivers, and mountain ranges fill the interior with remarkable precision. Major rivers such as the Danube, Drava, Save, Vistula and Tisza are clearly engraved, providing essential orientation across this vast territory.
Prominent cities — Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Graz, Trieste, Lemberg (Lviv), Zagreb, Innsbruck, Brünn (Brno), Salzburg, and Pressburg (Bratislava) — are sharply labeled. The lower right corner features a highly detailed city plan of Vienna (Wenen), illustrating the Ringstrasse, the old fortifications, and the imperial center during its monumental rebuilding phase. Additional insets depict Prague (Praag) and the Adriatic region around Trieste, showing strategic coastal towns and transport routes that linked the empire to Mediterranean trade.
This map captures the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its political height, when it governed a mosaic of languages, cultures, and historic provinces. The fine engraving, precise typography, and balanced composition reflect the high standards of Dutch educational cartography during the late 19th century. Frijlink’s atlas was a widely used reference in Dutch schools, valued for its accuracy and its elegant, methodical approach to geography.

This map displays beautifully with a warm ivory or pale cream mat and a slim walnut or black wooden frame.
