Description

This stunning detailed map of Sarajevo was made in the first years of the 20^th century in city itself and marks streets, factories, public buildings, barracks, mosques, churches and cemeteries (Muslim, Christian and Jewish), in Bosnian and German language, when the city, under the Austro-Hungarian rule, was a vivid multi-cultural center.

The map was published by Adolf Walny in the address book of a newspaper Bosnische Bote – Bosanski glasnik (Bosnian News), of which Walny was an owner and editor.

The map was a cause of one of the first biggest copyright lawsuits in Sarayevo. In 1907 it was plagiarized by Daniel A. Kajnon, who was a year later taken to court by Walny (Hana Younis, (Pre)štampa(va)nje djela i autorska prava početkom 20. stoljeća u Bosni i Hercegovini, In: BOSNIACA 2020, 2, pp. 88-98)
