Re: Re [Cz-L] Help with map....

Hardy... I agree with your WOW!

Just to round out the trip, there is a picture at:

that looks much like a guy watering a horse at a place called the
'turkenbrunnen' (Turkish well?) and the background looks a lot like
the Turkengasse, no? It's dated 1900 from Gabrielle Eisenscher. She
told me her ggf Israel Eisenscher was an inkeeper there and that this
served as his business card.

There is an earlier map (1757) but with no street names. It was used
apparently for tax purposes. See:
