This is a preview of the large Czernowitz street map
below, from the Romanian period. It is meant to give you an idea of
what is contained in the larger versions. It should be readable from
your browser. The preview is itself rather large (460k).
totalmap.gif
This is the file to download if you want the best
resolution of the map above. The street and place names are readable
and the entire map is indexed and cross-indexed with both Romanian and
German street names. You can download the map by clicking on the file
name above. Most browsers will not display this map directly. (1.4
megabytes) A 'jpg' version of the map has been put into the
'Maps' section and renamed 'cernauti-street.jpg'. It's about 1.8
megabytes and should be viewable with your browser.
temple
You should see a page with two computer reconstructions
of the Temple in Czernowitz and a link to the Centre for Jewish Art and
the page from which these reconstructions were taken. There is an
excellent history of the construction of the original temple which was
opened in 1878 on the linked page.
Pruth Bridge#1:
High resolution architectural structural steel drawing of Pruth bridge,
circa 1895.
Pruth Bridge#2: High resolution drawing of completed bridge. This looks to me like a fine pen and ink drawing giving a landscape view of the completed bridge, the river and the surrounding area, circa 1895.
