Published in the latter part of the nineteenth century, this distinct and ornate depiction of Poland and Lithuania shows the nations in a period of massive internal reform and increased political power from progressive urban social classes. These conditions created a more robust economy for the country, and the most populous city Warsaw became the leading center for trade. Produced by German cartographer Job Mayer and published by London Barrister John Bowles, this stunning representation immediately transports the viewer back in time. The Bar Confederation from 1768 to 1782 was a rebellion by the nobility who sought to retain independence for the nation as well as the traditional establishment of noble culture. After the suppression of the Bar Confederation, the commonwealth of Poland was divided into Prussia, Russia, and Austria, which became known as the First Partition of Poland. This is considered by historians to have happened due to Poland’s loss of significant influence in Northeastern Europe in the second half of the eighteenth century. Another contributing factor was the shifting powers of Russia and Europe during this period. English interest in Eastern European politics was peaked in the eighteenth century as civil unrest in English colonies in America were influencing geopolitical sentiment across Western Europe as well as England. As boundaries shift and new nations are formed, these historical maps provide a rare glimpse of the past and give the viewer a real sense of history.
