Re: [Cz-L] New Czernowitz Street map from early 20's

The map is an Austrian map with overprints of Rumanian names
for the main thoroughfares.
 Dates not given but it reflects Cz. as we know it.
  Herrengasse apears as Herrestrasse.
   What has Leo Konig copyright to do with the map orientation ?
  This map was designed to show streets and locations
   as any map around.
   Sold by Leo Konig openly - not an anti Rumanian demonstration.
     The Rumanians did not come up with any kind of map
  so early in their rule.
