Iconic 20th Century Map of the History of Poland Celebrating The Rebirth of Polish Independence After World War I Remarkably early 20th Century map of Poland, showing the cartographic evolution of the former Polish Kingdom from its formation in the 9th Century until 1770 (on the eve of the First Partition of Poland).  The map extends from the Gulf of Riga, in the north, down to the shores of the Black Sea in the south, and from Magdeburg, Germany, in the west, over to Tula, Russia, in the east.

Dotted lines show the various historical territories and labels the dates under which the regions were controlled by the Kingdom of Poland. The map is embellished with the coats of arms of the traditional Polish voivodships and military institutions. Four inserts give further details as to Poland's territorial evolution. The map celebreates the rebirth of the Polish Republic, an event anticipated and fought for by Poles for nearly 150 years. The map is celebrated as one of the graphic icons of Poland's rebirth.
