Map History Bulletin 3.

The third issue, similarly to previous ones, covers a wide range of topics of map history. So far unknown information is revealed about John Speed’s highly decorated map of Hungary, as well as the more widely known so-called Red Map edited by Pál Teleki, which is popular among collectors and non-professional alike. The Szekler-related maps of István Lakatos from Transylvania, made in 1702, are now presented to the public in an honourable way, this time placing the emphasis on the maps and not on the accompanying text. We can also read a study about the works of István Lutsch, also from Transylvania, related to the survey of the Hungarian-Moldavian border, made in the middle of the 18th century, and his elevation to a noble rank as a recognition of his activity. The result of many years of work is the catalogue of the First World War maps related to Hungary belonging to our map collection and the discussion analyzing it in detail.
