More Information

A finely detailed first edition 1794 map of Silesia by Robert Wilkinson, in what was then part of the Holy Roman empire. The map details the principalities within this duchy, which was bordered by Poland, Hungary, Moravia, Bohemia and Lusatia. Silesia passed from Habsburg to Prussian control in 1740. In 1806 Napoleon's French forces invaded, dissolving the Holy Roman empire and ultimately inspiring the events leading to the unification of Germany in 1871. After two world wars, Silesia has today splintered into German, Austrian, Czech and Polish Silesias. engraved by Thomas Conder for the 1794 first edition of Robert Wilkinson's General Atlas.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
