Description
This detailed copperplate map of Central Europe and the Austria-Hungarian Monarchy is the first edition, engraved by I. Zutz and printed to a scale of 1:150,000 by Tranquillo Mollo in Vienna. The title has a date 1822. It includes Austria, as well as parts of Poland, Hungary, Germany, and Italy. Published in three editions up to 1830, each reflected updates from the period. Intended to compete with Ludwig A. von Fallon’s contemporary map, it features clear engraving typical of Mollo’s works.
The lower-right margin lists provinces and districts in German and French, along with their sizes and populations. The two authors are otherwise unknown; this appears to be their only cartographic publication.
Post road maps
Beginning in the seventeenth century, particularly in Western Europe and Northern Italy, governments realized that an improved road system would help with economic development and governmental administration and would enable a reliable postal system.
While roads remained relatively primitive into the eighteenth century, by the middle of the seventeenth century, improvements allowed for the use of wheeled coaches and wagons, which led to the development of coach service between towns.
These coaches were primarily provided by the public mail service which was designed to carry letters, packages and people. Indeed, until the nineteenth century, most passenger coach travel was monopolized by postal carriers.On verso a small key-map (13x17cm.) has been pasted.

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.
