Opis:
W artykule porównano zakres treści i formę graficzną trzech polskich cywilnych map topograficznych w skali 1:50 000: w układzie "1965", w układzie "1992" oraz w układzie "WGS-84".
In Poland currently there are three topographic maps at the scale of 1:50 000 for civil use: -map in ,,1965" coordinate system published in 1977-1982 by the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography, covering the whole country, - map in ,,1992" coordinate system, exept first 48 sheets of Mazowsze region, which were edited in ,,1942" coordinate system), published in 1995-2002 by the Surveyor General of Poland, covering almost 60% of the country's area, - ,,WGS-84" map in UTM projection published in 2003-2006 by the Surveyor General of Poland with the Polish Military Gegraphic Service, covering 25% of the country's area. Comparison of the range of contents and graphic form of the three maps clearly shows the superiority of the map in ,,1992" system. Compared to the other two it employs a new way of presenting built-up areas. It contains significantly more information about the function and intensity of exploitation of built-up areas and offers provides a more complete picture of anthropogenic landscape than any other map in that scale, in Poland or abroad. In addition, the ,,1992" map has the most detailed presentation of streets and relief. Detailed depiction of plant cover and crop areas is achieved by lowering the area limits, below which a particular object is not shown with its outline. Similarly, lowering of the length limit of watercourses and area limit of water pools led to a more detailed presentation of water network. The contents of the ,,1992" map was also enriched by a much larger number of acronyms and descriptions of public buildings and industrial sites. The map in ,,1965" system was printed in four colors, ,,WGS-84" map in five, and the ,,1992" map - in six. The comparison of graphic form of the three maps gave lowest marks to the least readable "1965" map. The ,,1992" map is characterized by wider use of color, which adds to its readability and attractiveness. Substituting black color, traditionally used for buildings and road network with brown resulted in higher graphic capacity and better presentation of public buildings and industrial sites. Consistent use of green for green areas, blue for water and light brown for relief facilitates perception of particular categories of map contents. Application of color patterns for grass areas and orchards allowed for a clear and detailed presentation of their outline. The graphic level of the .WGS-84" map is higher than that of former military maps and the map in "1965" system, partly due to the application of several solutions from the ,,1992" map (e.g. consistent use of green for green areas, simplified presentation of built--up areas). Some elements of the ,,WSG-84" map, such as main roads or borders of natural reserves, are more readable than in the other two. The comparison of the three maps in 1:50 000 shows that the newly planned map in this scale, which is to be prepared using the topographic database should base on the map in ,,1992" coordinate system.

The International Cartographic Association (ICA) was founded in 1959 by the representatives of 13 countries as a result of an initiative of Swedish cartographers. Since then this important and useful organization has been steadily growing in the number of participating countries (79 today) as well as developing the range of its activities. Poland became its member forty years ago, in July 1964, at the 2nd General Assembly in London. It is represented by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography. In 1976 Polish National Committee for International Cartographic Association was founded at the Institute to support Polish cooperation with the ICA. Today the Committee consists of 24 representatives of various offices, scientific institutes, higher schools and organizations related to cartography. Since 1964 Polish cartographers have been taking active part in all ICA activities. It is especially evident during biannual International Cartographic Conferences (table 1). At each of them (except the 4th Conference in New Delhi in 1967) Polish representatives presented their papers (the largest number, 10, in Warsaw in 1982 and Beijing in 2001) and posters (the largest number, 10, in Ottawa in 1999). Numerous Polish publications were presented at exhibitions accompanying International Cartographic Conferences. The 11th International Cartographic Conference in the summer of 1982 was a major challenge for Polish cartographers. Organized in difficult conditions of martial law it was nevertheless regarded as one of the best prepared and most fruitful by its 193 foreign participants from 37 countries. They were particularly impressed with cartographic exhibitions, including the biggest to date exhibition of cartography of the host country, which included 812 items (117 atlases among them). At the last two conferences Polish panoramic plans of Venice and Berlin were awarded the best urban maps, while a Polish satellite image map of Karkonosze Mts. won in the category of satellite maps. Since 1993, when the Conferences' program included Barbara Petchenik Children's Map Competition, Poland has always been represented in it and 4 Polish pupils have been among the winners. Polish input to the efforts of particular commissions and working groups is varied. In some commissions Polish cartographers have been active members, or even leaders, since the very beginning; in other they participate only sporadically. The Commission on Cartographic Communication, founded in 1972 as an initiative of Professor Lech Ratajski of Warsaw University and led by him until his death in 1977 was one of the more dynamic. Between 1980-1984 Polish scientists headed two commissions: Professor Andrzej Ciotkosz (The Institute of Geodesy and Cartography) was the chairman of the Commission on Thematic Mapping by the Aid of Remote Sensing, while Professor Bogodar Winid (Warsaw University) was the chairman of the Commission on National and Regional Planning Cartography. Since 1999 Professor Ewa Krzywicka-Blum (Wroclaw Academy of Agriculture) has headed the Commission on Gender and Cartography, which investigates specific problems of under-represented groups. Other commissions in which Polish scientists have been active include the Commission on Definition, Classification and Standardization of Cartographic Terms, the Commission on Map Production Technology, the Commission on Visualization, the Commission on Maps and Graphics for Blind and Visually-Impaired People and the Commission on Theoretical Cartography. Achievements of several Polish scientists have been recognized by the international cartographic society. Professor Lech Ratajski was a Vice-President of the International Cartographic Association in the years 1972-1977; after his death Professor Andrzej Ciołkosz held that post until 1982. Professors Stanisław Pietkiewicz (1982) and Andrzej Ciołkosz (2003) also became Honorary Fellows of the ICA. A certain weakness of Polish participation lies in the fact that it is limited to a relatively small group. However gradually more and more young cartographers and specialists from related disciplines are joining in, better prepared to take up the challenges of the 21st century.

Opis:
The 90th anniversary of the appearance of Atlas Polski Continental dla automobilistów (Continental Atlas of Poland for Automobilists) published by Continental Caoutchouc Compagnie Ltd Warsaw is nearing. The Atlas was the first publication of its kind after Poland had regained its independence in 1918. After mentioning the earlier 19th and the beginning of 20th century road maps, mainly from the region known as the Kingdom of Poland being at the time under the rule of the Russian Empire, the author of the article discusses the Continental road atlas. The date of publishing the Continental road atlas is not known, therefore in the article the author makes an attempt at establishing it on the basis of the map’s contents: railroad lines, settlement network and administrative borders. Unfortunately, the study does not allow one to unequivocally state the date of publication due to numerous shortcomings in the map’s contents. Nevertheless, the date may be estimated as the beginning of the year 1926. The atlas consists of 20 single-sided map sheets (foldouts) at the scale of 1:1,000,000, which cover the whole territory of Poland as well as some parts of neighboring countries, and a general map showing the division into sheets. The maps’ main contents consists of five categories of roads marked in red. Their background is composed of railroad lines, towns and villages in seven size classes according to the number of inhabitants, water network, some peaks and passes as well as mountain range names. Explanations of map symbols in the legend are given in five languages: Polish, Russian, German, French, English. The atlas very clearly shows the differences in the density and quality of roads between the regions of the Prussian and Austrian partitions and the road infrastructure-wise neglected Russian partition, especially its eastern part. Apart from mileage information for roads, the maps do not contain additional information specifically for motorists. They do not even show petrol stations or auto repair shops. What is really worth praise is the sole idea of creating such an automobile atlas and publishing it in 10,000 copies, a copy for every other Polish driver at the time! The fact speaks for the publisher’s, Continental Caoutchouc Compagnie’s, perspective. Despite numerous shortcomings discussed in the article, the Continental Atlas of Poland for Automobilists remains an unique work, which gave a beginning to a new kind of maps in Poland.

W artykule omówiono tematykę i grafikę map w większych gazetach centralnych na tle warunków funkcjonowania polskiej prasy w czterdziestopięcioletnim okresie od zakończenia drugiej wojny światowej do 1989 roku.
After WW II Polish press cartography could develop spontaneously and multidirectionally only for a short period of time. During that time it followed the example of pre-war press. Communist authorities intended to subordinate the press completely - they finally achieved that goal after falsified elections of 1947. For the next decades the press was controlled practically by a one party - Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR). Press illustrations (photographs, maps, diagrams, also for propaganda use) were initially (in the forties) provided by two agencies. From 1951, after a further reorganization there remained only one - Central Agency of Photography (CAF). Newspaper publishers, especially of national papers, often had their own artists, who drew maps and other illustrations. Party and state authorities not only restricted the flow of information, but also affected its character. As early as in the late firties information was being controlled and selected; international news (in the wake of Cold War) as well as domestic - e.g. concerning industry. Maps published in central dailies to a large extent reflected the topics of publications as well as features of infornational policy and propaganda of the time. They were mainly reference maps presenting international affairs. Their number grew during the times of political changes (e.g. decolonization of Africa) military conflicts (e.g. in Korea, China, Indochina, Middle East, Latin America) and during the periods when the attention of society was to be diverted from domestic and local affairs (e.g. in the seventies and eighties). Percentage of maps dealing with domestic and local (the place of publication) issues was significantly lower than those on international affairs; it also varied in different periods. It was relatively high in the first post-war decade, because of the publication of many plans and town-planer concepts of reconstruction of ruined cities, especially the capital. Plans of new investments in industry and agriculture were also common at that time. The number of maps and plans of new instruments rose again in the seventies, during the time of economic prosperity and the later "propaganda of success". The number of communication maps also went up, mainly in connection with new investments and changes in the organization of traffic. In order to "strengthen people's faith in the Party and Authorities" newspapers organized picnics, which were preceded by the publication of plans and traffic schemes. The decline of economy in the late seventies brought on the general strike of 1980, the rise of Solidarity and the end of Party's monopole in information policy. After the Martial Law has been introduced on 13th December 1981, all dailies except Trybuna Ludu and Żołnierz Wolności were closed. After the suspension of the Matial Law the press continued to write more about foreign than domestic affairs, with the percentage of reference and locator maps reaching 80% in some years. The political changes after 1989, which resulted in the abolishing of censorship and the end of Party's and State informational monopole also transformed press. Thw range of maps became significantly wider, their number grew and their graphic design improved. Introduction of computer technology into editing was also significant for press cartography.

Opis:
W tym roku mija czterdzieści lat od ukazania się Atlasu Świata Służby Topograficznej Wojska Polskiego. Atlas, będący jednym z największych osiągnięć polskiej kartografii geograficznej, z przyczyn politycznych nie znalazł w kraju pełnej oceny i należnego mu uznania. Jego wersja angielskojęzyczna Pergamon World Atlas z powodzeniem propagowała polską kartografię w krajach zachodnich, stawiając go w rzędzie największych i najlepszych atlasów świata. Nigdy nie ukazało się kolejne wydanie Atlasu, nigdy też nie wyrażono Autorom należnego uznania i nie dano im stosownej satysfakcji. Dlatego przypominamy środowisku kartograficznemu szczególne okoliczności wiążące się z jego wydaniem i miejsce, jakie wyznaczał polskiej kartografii na arenie międzynarodowej.
At the turn of the 1960s the Polish Army Topographical Service initiated the edition of a great atlas of the world. It was to meet the demand for a publication unavailable since the 1904 the Great Atlas of the World by A. Nałkowski and A. Świętochowski. The publication lost its originally military character and became available to the general public. Atlas Świata (World Atlas) of the Polish Army Topographical Service was published in 1960-1968 in installments, in 242,000 copies, 205,000 of which were in Polish and 37,000 in English, ordered by the English Pergamon Press publishing house. The atlas was printed in 40x32 format; on 524 pages, including 382 map pages with an index, a pronunciation guide and a glossary of geographical names and terms. At that time nobody expected the fate awaiting the publication, which was one of the most significant in the history of Polish cartography. We recall this work to preserve the memory of the unprecedented effort of Polish military cartographers, successors of the Polish pre-war school of cartography. The first issues ofthe atlas were received with great interest and positive reviews. Later it became a victim of political unrest. After the Israeli-Arab war of 1967 Poland broke diplomatic relations with Israel, while the events of March 1968 in Poland demonstrated anti-Semitic sentiments of the Polish ruling elite. In spring '68 the editing team was accused of falsely showing Jerusalem as lsrael's capital, which disqualified the Atlas as a serious, credible scientific publication and a reliable source of information. Despite the witch-hunt the Atlas was completed, with an additional map of Cyprus, Lebanon and Israel (attached to the last issue) showing Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel. However the following autumn the publishing team was disbanded and its members scattered. The publication itself became a 'rotten apple' of Polish cartography; usually ignored for fear of political repressions. The Atlas got only two foreign reviews of its English Pergamon Press Atlas version: by G.R.Crome in "Geographical Magazine" (1968), and R.E Dahlberg in "The Canadian Cartographer" (1969). Significantly, it was regarded as one of the leading atlases of the time, along with The Times Atlas, Atlas Mira and Atlantę Internazionale. The Polish atlas is actually superior due to its rich thematic contents. The ostracism surrounding the Atlas lasted until early 1980s, when it had already been too late for the second edition. The materials became outdated, dispersed or lost, the publishing team broke up. Thus the World Atlas became an example of 'the most spectacular example of material and intellectual waste in the history of world cartography' (W. Grygorenko 1981). In 2003 an MA. thesis on the history and value of the Atlas was prepared at Warsaw University Department of Geography and Regional Studies to honor the memory of this effort of Polish military cartography (E. Florjańska 2003). The Atlas had to find its place without the help of 'experts'. Daily use verified its value. It became one of the most popular sources of geographic information. 40 years after its publication reviewing it seems pointless. However the analysis of its structure in comparison to other leading atlases shows the state of Polish cartography in the World in 1960s.

Mapa Polski i Śląska G. Merkatora z 1585 r. była bezpośrednio wykorzystana do opracowania nowej mapy Polski przez Jodocusa Hondiusa II około 1620 roku. Jej treść została uzupełniona o elementy z mapy Litwy Merkatora z 1595 r. oraz mapy Prus Kaspra Hennebergera z 1576 roku lub jej jakiegoś wariantu. Natomiast mapa Polski Hondiusa z około 1620 roku była podstawowym źródłem, które bezpośrednio wykorzystał do opracowania swojej mapy Polski John Speed w 1626 roku. Podobnie jak jej poprzedniczka również została ona uzupełniona treścią z mapy Prus K. Hennebergera oraz z mapy południowego wybrzeża Bałtyku W. Blaeu’a z 1608 r. Mapa Polski Johna Speeda była natomiast podstawowym źródłem do wykonania mapy Polski Piscatora w 1630 roku. Tę również częściowo uzupełniono w oparciu o mapę Litwy Merkatora oraz jego mapę Polski i Śląska. Wspomniana mapa Polski Jodocusa Hondiusa II z ok. 1620 r. lub jej niemal wierna przeróbka Joannesa Janssoniusa i Henricusa Hondiusa z 1638 r. była podstawowym źródłem do opracowania mapy Polski Joannesa Janssoniusa z 1645 r. Uzupełniono ją na podstawie mapy Pomorza E. Lubinusa z 1618 r. oraz głównie na terenie Wielkopolski na podstawie mapy województwa poznańskiego J. Freudenhammera z 1645 roku. Jest to jedna z najpiękniejszych map Polski XVII wieku. Willem Janszoon Blaeu w 1635 r. zredagował interesującą mapę Polski, którą z uzupełnieniami zamieszczono w 12-tomowym wielkim atlasie Blaeuów w 1662 r. Dla wykreślenia tej mapy Blaeu jako podstawowe źródło nie wykorzystał już istniejących nowych map Polski, ale dawną mapę Polski i Śląska Merkatora. Nie była ona jedynym źródłem, ponieważ uzupełnień treści dokonano na podstawie mapy Prus K. Hennebergera, mapy Pomorza E. Lubinusa oraz mapy Polski J. Speeda. Wydawcy map i atlasów w pierwszej połowie XVII w. wykorzystywali więc najnowsze publikacje kartograficzne. Różnego rodzaju kompilacje, przeróbki i warianty, często na rzecz treści dekoracyjnej obniżały wartości kartograficzne. Nie stanowiły więc postępu w kształtowaniu obrazu kartograficznego ziem Rzeczypospolitej. Za krok milowy i jako pierwowzór wielu późniejszych dzieł kartograficznych należy uznać właśnie mapę Polski i Śląska Merkatora z 1585 r.
Gerardus Mercator’s map of Poland and Silesia from 1585 was directly used to make a new map of Poland by Jodocus Hondius II around the year 1620. Its content was completed with elements from Mercator’s map of Lithuania from 1595 and from Caspar Henneberger’s map of Prussia from 1576 or some variant of it. However, Hondius’s map of Poland from 1620 was the basic source, which was directly used by John Speed to elaborate his own map of Poland in 1626. Very much like its predecessor, it too was completed with content from C. Henneberger’s map of Prussia and from W. Blaeu’s map of the southern coast of the Baltic Sea from 1608. John Speed’s map of Poland was in turn the basic source for the creation of Piscator’s map of Poland in 1630. This map too was partly completed on the basis of Mercator’s map of Lithuania and his map of Poland and Silesia. The already mentioned Jodocus Hondius’s II map of Poland from around 1620, or its almost exact makeover by Joannes Janssonius and Henricus Hondius from 1638, was the basic source for the elaboration of Joannes Janssonius’s map of Poland from 1645. It was completed on the basis of E. Lubinus’s map of Pomerania from 1618 and, mainly on the territory of Polonia Maior, on the basis of J. Freudenhammer’s map of Poznań voyvodship from 1645. It is one of the most beautiful 17th century maps of Poland. In 1635, Willem Janszoon Blaeu edited an interesting map of Poland, which, together with some supplements, was included in the 12-volume atlas of the Blaeus in 1662. For the making of the map Blaeu didn’t use as his basic source any of the already existing new maps of Poland, but the ancient Mercator’s map of Poland and Silesia. It was not the only source, because the content was completed on the basis of K. Henneberger’s map of Prussia, E. Lubinus’ map of Pomerania and J. Speed’s map of Poland. Therefore, publishers of maps and atlases in the first half of 17th century used the newest cartographic publications. Various kinds of compilations, makeovers and variants, often for the benefit of decorative content lowered their cartographic value. They did not constitute progress in the shaping of the cartographic image of Poland. It is Mercator’s map of Poland and Silesia from 1585 which deserves to be treated as milestone and prototype for many cartographic works which followed.

The aim of the article is to present the printed small scale maps of the territory of Poland and Lithuania in the 16th century against the background of the European cartography of that time. Such presentation should help revise and complete the historical image of Poland. For source analysis the following research methods were applied: linguistic analysis (synoptic charts), accuracy analysis (distortion charts) and con-tents analysis (comparison of errors - mainly in water network). Publication of the printed maps of Northern and Southern Sarmatia, covering Eastern Europe, and then the general map of Poland in 1526 were the milestones in the development of cartography of Poland and Lithuania. These maps, authored by Bernard Wapowski, were not distributed in Europe on a mass scale, however they had significant, though indirect influence on how the territory of Poland were presented. General picture of the terrains between Oder and Dnieper, the Baltic and the Carpathians, created by Bernard Wapowski, was later popularized in Western Europe by Gerard Mercator, the outstanding cartographer and publisher. The influence of Wapowski's maps can be seen on Mercator's globe of 1541, and later on his great map of Europe of 1554. The presentation of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was based on the following maps: Poland and Sarmatia by Wapowski (1526), Prussia by Heinrich Zell (1542), Pomerania by Sebastian Munster (1550), Northern Europe by Olaus Magnus (1539) and Anton Wied (1542). Especially the last one, and its adaptations, was used to prepare maps of Central-Eastern Europe until the middle 19th century. Book editions by Sebastian Munster (1540,1544) and Johannes Honter (1542) had significant impact on the credible presentation of the Polish territory in the first half of the 16th century. The map by Wacław Gródecki from 1562, which based on the works of Bernard Wapowski, and its almost identical version from the atlas of Abraham Ortelius (1570), were the most commonly used general 16th century maps of Poland. They were also used by Gerard de Jode in his atlas of 1578, which because of the small number of printed copies reached few readers. Northern territories of Poland were presented basing on separate maps of Prussia by Heinrich Zell (1542) and later Caspar Henneberger (1576). This is particularly evident on the map of Poland by Gerard de Jode, published after 1578 but before 1586. On this map de Jode updated the area of Prussia using the new Henneberger's map of 1576. The above maps were also the basis for correcting the picture of Prussia in many atlases and books. Gerard Mercator's map of Poland and Silesia from 1585 was the next stage in development of the presentation of the country. It was meticulously prepared and had rich topographic contents. It based on the map of Poland by Gerard de Jode from 1578. More details were added basing on the map of Poland by W. Gródecki from 1562 and 1570, the latter edited by A. Ortelius, and the map of European Sarmatia by A. Pograbka (Pograbius) from 1570. The surrounding territories were presented basing on several maps of particular regions: Silesia by M. Helwig (1561), Duchy of Oświęcim and Zator by S. Porębski (1563), Prussia by C. Henneberger (1576). Mercator's map covered the territory of Poland and Silesia, without the Gdańsk Pomerania, Prussia, Western Pomerania and the western part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It became the basie source for a number of maps of Poland from the 17th to the 18th centuries, until the more modern maps of the times of King Stanisław Poniatowski. From all the Polish territories which Mercator worked on the map of Lithuania prepared in 1595 is particularly interesting. It is the first map showing exclusively Lithuania, although in the borders from before the mainly the map of Europę from 1572, and also maps of Poland by W. Gródecki from 1562 or 1570, the map of European Sarmatia by A. Pograbka (1570), Poland and Lithuania (1585) and the map of Lithuanian-Mo-scow border by M. Strubicz (1589). Particular maps were the first to be noticed and used for updating the maps of some regions of Poland. In the case of maps of Europe and the World it was different. Amendments were rarely made and overdue. The great map of Europe by Mercator remained the major influence in the shaping of the maps of the continent.

Opis:
The subject of this analysis is Georg Freudenhammer’s map of Palatinatus Posnaniensis, editions of which were published by all major publishing houses of the 17 th century: the Blaeu family, Jans sonius, Schenk/Valk or Janssonius van Waesbergen. The formerly unknown first state was dedicated to the new Queen of Poland, Louise Marie Gonzaga. The author hypothesises that it was probably a gift from the author of the map, who participated in Krzysztof Opaliński’s envoy to the future queen. The speed at which this work was produced did not allow for its final completion, so in the later state of the map, a number of additions were made, the addressee of the dedication was changed, and the text of the royal privilege to print it was added. Several features indicate that Freudenhammer’s original intention was changed over time, and the new addressee of the work became the author’s employer and mentor – Krzysztof Opaliński.

Opis:
W artykule, po przypomnieniu wcześniejszych, pochodzących z XIX i początku XX wieku map drogowych, głównie z terenu Królestwa Polskiego, omówiono Atlas Polski Continental dla automobilistów, wydany przez Continental Caoutchouc Compagnie Sp. z o.o. Warszawa. Był on pierwszą publikacją tego typu po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 roku. W atlasie nie podano daty wydania, dlatego w artykule przeprowadzono próbę jej ustalenia na podstawie treści: linii kolejowych, sieci osadniczej i granic administracyjnych. Można szacunkowo przyjąć, że atlas wydano na początku roku 1926, jednak na jednoznaczne określenie daty nie pozwalają niedociągnięcia dotyczące aktualności treści map. Atlas, wydany w nakładzie 10 000 egzemplarzy, składa się z 20 jednostronnie drukowanych arkuszy mapy w skali 1:1 000 000 pokrywających całą Polskę i fragmenty państw ościennych oraz mapy ogólnej pokazującej podział na arkusze. Zasadniczą treść map stanowi pięć kategorii dróg. Tłem dla obrazu dróg są linie kolejowe, miasta i wsie, sieć wodna oraz nieliczne szczyty i przełęcze. Objaśnienie znaków w legendzie dano w pięciu językach: polskim, rosyjskim, niemieckim, francuskimi i angielskim. W atlas wyraźnie widać zróżnicowanie gęstości i jakości dróg między obszarami dawnych zaborów pruskiego i austriackiego, a zaniedbanym pod względem infrastruktury drogowej zaborem rosyjskim.
The 90th anniversary of the appearance of Atlas Polski Continental dla automobilistów ( Continental Atlas of Poland for Automobilists) published by Continental Caoutchouc Compagnie Ltd Warsaw is nearing. The Atlas was the first publication of its kind after Poland had regained its independence in 1918. After mentioning the earlier 19th and the beginning of 20th century road maps, mainly from the region known as the Kingdom of Poland being at the time under the rule of the Russian Empire, the author of the article discusses the Continental road atlas. The date of publishing the Continental road atlas is not known, nevertheless, the date may be estimated as the beginning of the year 1926. The atlas consists of 20 single-sided map sheets (foldouts) at the scale of 1:1,000,000, which cover the whole territory of Poland as well as some parts of neighboring countries, and a general map showing the division into sheets. The maps’ main contents consists of five categories of roads marked in red. Their background is composed of railroad lines, towns and villages in seven size classes according to the number of inhabitants, water network, some peaks and passes as well as mountain range names. Explanations of map symbols in the legend are given in Polish, Russian, German, French, English. The atlas very clearly shows the differences in the density and quality of roads between the regions of the Prussian and Austrian partitions and the road infrastructure- wise neglected Russian partition, especially its eastern part. Apart from mileage information for roads, the maps do not contain additional information specifically for motorists. They do not even show petrol stations or auto repair shops. What is really worth praise is the sole idea of creating such an automobile atlas and publishing it in 10,000 copies, a copy for every other Polish driver at the time! The fact speaks for the publisher’s, Continental Caoutchouc Compagnie’s, perspective. Despite numerous shortcomings discussed in the article, the Continental Atlas of Poland for Automobilists remains an unique work, which gave a beginning to a new kind of maps in Poland.

We wstępie przedstawiono ogólną charakterystykę map leśnych oraz propozycję ich podziału. Podstawową część artykułu stanowi opis problemów współczesnej kartografii leśnej na przykładzie map wykorzystywanych w nadleśnictwach.

W końcowej części tekstu dokonano ogólnej charakterystyki literatury związanej z kartografią leśną.
The term of forest cartography has not been finally defined yet. In the past it used to mean cartographic presentations prepared for forestries. Growing demand for new types of maps, resulting from the development of the idea of multi-functional forests, together with new technologies of their preparation widened the range of meaning of forest cartography. The author concentrates on maps used by the staff of ,,State Forest" National Forest Holding: attachments to arrangement statements and maps prepared by forest authorities basing on digital maps that they use. Some of the problems mentioned in the title concern editing issues: selection of contents of forest maps according to the requirements of their users, map updating, cartographic generalization, application of particular methods of presentation and marking of geographical coordinates on maps. Other deal with more general issues: map availability, used terminology and education in the field of forest map elaboration. Only a small fraction of the issues mentioned in the text specially generalization has been more exhaustively discussed in literature, most need further research and analyses. Generally, forest cartography uses traditional graphic solutions. Despite significant technical development in the area of map production it is their contents that improves rather than the presentation method. Many characteristic solutions typical for forest cartography result from particular conditions. Those maps are prepared almost exclusively for internal use, therefore their development is more resistant to general trends. However they fulfill their role well - they are highly evaluated by their users.

The military and political outcome of World War I, and the deliberations of the Paris Peace Conference, offered a real chance for the rebirth of Polish statehood. A key issue was the justification of Poland’s future territorial shape, in which ethnic issues played a significant role alongside historical, economic and strategic criteria. The aim of this paper is to show and discuss selected archival nationality maps, often of an expert nature, produced by Polish scholars for the purpose of negotiating the territorial extent of Poland during the Paris Peace Conference. To what extent were they an attempt at an objective representation of the national reality of the Polish territory, and to what a subjective perception and experience of space by the authors of the maps? What were the aims and ideas of their creators, what did they want to achieve? To what extent did the political reality of the time determine their behaviour?

Opis:
The article concerns the presence of nature in pre-industrial towns. I address here the problems I encountered when recreating the urban layout of Dolsk, an averagesized town in Greater Poland belonging to the bishops of Poznan in the Old Polish period, at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. This problem concerned showing the socio-economic character of the city. The reproduction constitutes part of Greater Poland’s volume of the series of the Historical Atlas of Poland. The search for the presence of nature in cities was based on a query in written sources from the first half of the 17th century and on the basis of the oldest known and preserved city map from the end of the 18th century. The reference to natural elements in Dolsk is associated with the presence of home gardens, which constitute a kind of natural arrangement. Most often they appear when describing a real estate that was the subject of purchase/sale transactions between burghers of Dolsk or when loans were secured on a real estate. Gardens were located on plots, which constituted the basic unit of the ownership division of the urban space. However, they were not always mentioned in the descriptions of transactions. Most often they appeared at the houses that were built on plots limited from the back by the lakes surrounding Dolsk or passed into suburban areas. However, also in the case of plots that bordered with other plots from the back, one may find information about the presence of a garden on such a plot. The presence of gardens at the back of the plots in Dolsk was also registered on the oldest preserved city map of 1794–1796. Both this fact and the forwarding of elements of nature inside town walls on plans of perspective towns from the early modern period means that marking gardens on the reconstruction of the spatial arrangement seems necessary, especially in the case of towns of the size and character of Dolsk. This makes it necessary to reflect upon the methodology of creating historical maps of old towns. The simplest solution would be to create a generalized, simplified visualization of the urban space based on data taken from the oldest town plan, but not merely from a simple redrawing of the border between the residential-economic zone and the garden zone. However, not being able to mark these borders precisely on the basis of data from written sources from the 17th century, one should adopt a conventional method of marking these zones. However, this requires further reflection on the methodological concepts of modern cartography and their use to create historical maps showing the reconstruction of spatial systems of towns in the pre-industrial period. It seems that further work on a similar way of marking the space of urban plots in average-size and small towns will allow to develop a model of cartographic presentation that will better reflect the character of the space of towns such as Dolsk.

Opis:
Polish-language globes are didactic aids, but also valuable cartographic monuments and documents of the Polish language. They have been manufactured since the mid-19th century, initially in Bavaria’s Nuremberg and in Prague in the Czech Republic, and since the 1920s in our country. The production of globes is multi-stage and can be financed partially or entirely by sponsors and patrons. In addition to the products of the company C. Abel-Klinger Kunsthandlung, the first copies were financed by patriot booksellers: Jabłoński, Milikowski, Idzik and Hoesick. After the First World War, copies were financed by publishing companies: Zakłady Główczewskiego, Pomoc Szkolna, Nasz Sklep–Urania, Wydawnictwo Polskie, publishing companies from Katowice, and the mysterious Deutsher Verlag publishing house based in Warsaw and Poznań. Changes in printing technology significantly reduced their price, demand for them by schools and children and young people popularised them as teaching aids. Companies financing and popularising these Polish-language publications played an important role in the publishing of globes. To a large extent, these were companies associated with the production and distribution of teaching materials. In general, all companies discussed can be gathered in three groups: booksellers financing or co-financing the publication of Polish-language globes; publishers responsible for financing and publishing globes; publishers responsible for making maps.

Opis:
The work indicated in Polish literature as the cartographic basis for the negotiations of Polish issues at the Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) is Eugeniusz Romer’s Geograficzno-statystyczny atlas Polski (Geographical and Statistical Atlas of Poland). Given the complicated fate of the atlas, the position of its author in the Polish delegation, and the multidisciplinarity and importance of the conference, it is worth considering whether this atlas really played such an important role, or whether this is merely a statement, a repeated assignment of this role, to stave off concealment or lack of knowledge about other cartographic materials developed and used for the same purpose. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to determine the level of use of cartographic documents other than the Geographical and Statistical Atlas of Poland in lobbying and official negotiations of Polish issues before and during the Paris Peace Conference. The research task was associated with an extensive archival query, which confirmed the fact that dozens of maps survived, mainly manuscripts, which were prepared before and during the conference. It should be concluded that the maps of E. Romer’s atlas constituted one set of many equally important cartographic documents which were used by the negotiators at the Paris Peace Conference.

Opis:
The aim of the study was to identify riverbed changes of the Krasna river along its entire length in recent centuries, based on archival cartographic materials. Additionally, in the roughly 2-km long estuary section, where the largest riverbed changes were noticed in the maps, cartographic changes were verified by geomorphological and geological mapping of Quaternary sediments. The Krasna River is located in the northern part of the Świętokrzyskie Province in the Polish Uplands area. The Krasna River is a left-side tributary of the Czarna Konecka, with the length of 28 km. The basin area is about 121 km2. It was located in the Old Polish Industrial District. Krasna was one of the most industrialized rivers of the Old Polish Industrial District in 19th c. The waters of the lower section of Krasna were used to power forges and water mills. The activity of the forges and water mills contributed to changes in the course of the Krasna riverbed, visible on cartographic materials as well as in sediments. In early 1930s, old forges were transformed into water mills. In later years, the mill buildings were transformed into sawmills, which existed until the middle of the 20th c. On the flood plain, remnants of the iron metallurgy have survived in such forms as shafts and channels as well as in sediments as slags or bricks. With the fall of industrial activity, renaturalization processes started in the Krasna River valley and the river bed itself. This led to the restoration of a natural environment and the river came back to its natural course.
Celem opracowania jest rozpoznanie zmian koryta Krasnej na całej długości w ostatnich stuleciach w oparciu o dostępne materiały kartograficzne. Dodatkowo, w ujściowym odcinku (około 2 km), w którym stwierdzono na mapach największe zmiany, zweryfikowano zmiany kartograficzne wykonując tu kartowanie geomorfologiczne i geologiczne osadów czwartorzędowych. Krasna położona jest w północnej części województwa świętokrzyskiego na obszarze Wyżyn Polskich. Jest lewobrzeżnym dopływem Czarnej Koneckiej o długości 28 km. Jej zlewnia o powierzchni 121 km2 znajdowała się w Staropolskim Okręgu Przemysłowym. W przeszłości, a zwłaszcza od XIX wieku, Krasna była jedną z najbardziej „pracowitych” rzek SOP-u. Wody dolnego odcinka Krasnej napędzały koła wodne urządzeń przemysłowych od Krasnej do Starej Wsi. Działalność kuźnic i młynów przyczyniła się do zmian biegu koryta rzeki Krasnej, widocznych na materiałach kartograficznych, jak i w morfologii i osadach. Na początku lat 30. XX wieku pozostałości po fabrykach zostały przekształcone w młyny wodne. W późniejszych latach budynki młynów przekształcono w tartaki istniejące do połowy XX wieku. Na równinie zalewowej zachowały się pozostałości po hutnictwie żelaza, jak kanały i wały, a w osadach żużle czy fragmenty cegieł. W ostatnich dziesięcioleciach, wraz z upadkiem przemysłowej aktywności, rozpoczęły się w obrębie doliny i w korycie Krasnej procesy renaturalizacji, a rzeka powróciła do swego naturalnego biegu.
