       :      19th century European maps
 
 
 Gerry-
 If microfiche is acceptable, LC published a German set, a Polish set, and a Aus
 tro-Hungarian set which are all available for sale. I think there might be a Ru
 ssian set too. I'm sending the ad for the German set.
 If you need paper copy, I'm sending copies of a bunch of cites and//or ads for
 reproductions I've seen over the years, so some are quite dated. I've also neve
 r seen the products since we don't collect foreign maps.

       :      Sources for 19th century European Maps
 
 
An excellent source for 19th and early 20th century European maps
is:                       Genealogy Unlimited, Inc.
                          P.O. Box 537
                          Orem, UT 84059-0537
                          (801) 226-8971.
Their Summer 1994 catalog offers among other maps:
Victorian Ordnance Survey 1:63 360 ca. 1896 (surveyed 1860-1880)
Middle Europe 1:200 000 ca. 1910
1871 German Empire 1:100 000 and 1:25 000.
 
I've found Genealogy Unlimited to be a very reliable and cooperative source
for this type of material.
 
Hope this helps!
