More Gorgeous Free Vintage Maps of Europe

A couple of weeks ago, I published a variety of gorgeous free printable old maps of Europe from my collection. These were all of the Northern European Countries. This time I’ve uploaded even more beautiful free vintage maps of Europe, with a focus on Central and Southern Countries.

All of these free vintage maps of Europe are over a hundred years old. Unlike in Northern Europe, there has been significant change in the geographical borders of these European countries.

The biggest change has to be the breakup of the Soviet Union. The dissolution of the Soviet Union into 11 different Countries occurred at the end of 1991.

Therefore, any maps of Europe pre-1991 show the USSR and not all the new Baltic states and other former Soviet Republics. However, Russia is still the largest country in the world.

THE FREE VINTAGE MAPS OF EUROPE

1. Vintage Map of Central & Mediterranean Europe – Bartholomew’s Citizens Atlas of The World 1898

2. Vintage Map of Italy – German Atlas

3. Russia In Europe

I don’t know which Atlas this vintage map of Russia was originally from, as it was a loose one in my collection. I do, however, believe it is well over 100 years old.

5. Vintage Map of Italy – Bartholomew’s Citizens Atlas of The World 1892

6. Vintage Map of Spain & Portugal – Bartholomew’s Citizens Atlas of The World 1898

7. Vintage Map of Switzerland – George Philip and Son

This map is again in German. It looks like something from a vintage geography textbook. I’m not sure what the scales and colours represent, but I love the map’s colourfulness.

8. Map of Poland

9. Vintage Map of the Austrian Empire
