Description:
Very rare and extremely detailed, complete, first edition, 13 sheets map of East Prussia, our days Lithuania (Užnemunė, Suvalkija regions) and Poland territories. After the Third, 1795, Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, former Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) lands — including Augustavas and Suvalkija were annexed by Prussia, and included in “New East Prussia.” New East Prussia was divided into the Kammerdepartements Bialystok and Płock which were divided into the following counties:
Białystok Department: Bialystok, Bielsk, Bobrz, Dombrowa, Drohiczyn, Kalwary, Lomza, Mariampol, Surasz, Wygry
Płock Department: Lipno, Mlawa, Ostrolenka, Plozk, Przasnik, Pultusk, Wyszogrod.
In 1806 the area was conquered by Napoleon and overrun in the Greater Poland Uprising. The July 9, 1807 Treaty of Tilsit divided those former GDL lands: Plock Department went to the Duchy of Warsaw.
