At the beginning of the 19th century, following the works of others in the previous century, Janos Lipszky (1766-1826), a Hungarian hussar officer, compiled and published, in print the first complete general map of the Hungarian Empire (Mappa generalis regni Hungariae, (1804-1808), together with the complete index of all settlements and other geographical names in it (Repertorium, 1808), and an overview map (Tabula generalis regni Hungariae, 1810). Even now, researchers favor Janos Lipszky's map due to its unprecedented completeness and accuracy, while people, fond of beautiful maps, find aesthetic an experience while browsing it. Due to the great interest in the map, its complete copies are available almost exclusively only in public collections.
