Complete title "N=ro I. Diese Carte zeiget uns dass Hoch Freiherrl. Fidei Com(m)iss guth Prauß, mit dem Herschafftlichen Schloß und forwergs gebäuden, auch Kirch und Pfarr hauß, sambt allen ... Und zu gehörigen Feldern...".
Elaborately drawn manuscript plan of Prauss - a village in the Silesian Landkreise Strehlen (now Prusy, near Strzelin, south-western Poland). This plan was made during the First Silesian War (1740-2) between Prussia and Austria. "The Prussian victory in the Battle of Chotusitz on May 17, 1742, ended the First Silesian War. By the preliminary Peace of Breslau, confirmed by the Treaty of Berlin on July 28, 1742, the bulk of Silesia and the Bohemian County of Kladsko were ceded to Prussia and was later consolidated as the Province of Silesia" (Wikipedia).
The name Prauss is first mentioned in 1295 in a deed recorded in 1732 by Friedrich Wilhelm Sommersbergzum in "Selisiorum Rei Historicae." In this deed, Duke Heinrich of Silesia, Master of Breslau, states that Andreas von Pruss sold his ancestral property in Prauss with all its belongings to the Knight Conrad von Borschitz and his brother Johann. The village is named after this Knight von Pruss. In 1792 the village of Prauss consisted of one Protestant church and school, one catholic chapel, one mill and had 360 inhabitants. The village had at the time become a place of horse breeding and was expanding that activity (Leonhardi, F.G. Erdbeschreibung der preussischen Monarchie, Bd. 2. Halle, 1792, S. 231).
"Prusy is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kondratowice, within Strzelin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of Kondratowice (Kurtwitz), 11 km (7 mi) west of Strzelin, and 43 km (27 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław" (Wikipedia).

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
