- A joint
edition
of 4 sheets, 1:25,000 originally produced by WIG in 1930s: Mikulczyce –
Bytom – Gliwice – Chorzów. With no publication date it's hard to
confirm if they are an original, pre-WW2 edition, or a temporary re-print
for local use done in late 1940s, i.e. after the war.
We have managed to locate and make available for the "
literature" section the original of the WIG
maps from 1929 „Przepisy podstawowe o sporzadzaniu map…” (core
instructions on WIG maps), which provide a descriptive specification sheet
for basic WIG map series.
Courtesy of Mr Ryszard Hubisz we have also made available a map and a
brochure by a known Polish cartographer, Franciszek Uhorczak, „Skorowidz
nazw gromad, miast i miasteczek… woj. lwowskiego, stanislawskiego i
tarnopolskiego” (Gazetteer). The gazetteer comes with a large map, which
ca be downloaded from
Mapster.
We have also added a German brochure dated July 1939 including a set of
"drive-through" town plans of Poland („Stadt-Durchfahrten in Polen und
Danzig (Skizzen)”
