Jerome,
this map is not from the 18th century. It can be safely dated ca.
1867-1869 since it was produced after the "great fire" of 1867.
Additional "time markers" - Church of St Paraskeva on Lemberger gasse
(completed in 1864) and first two buildings of Jewish hospital north
of Synagogengasse (built in 1853).
