Pictorial map of Silesia designed in elegant Gothic style by the painter Maximilian Hüttisch (1911-1988) and published in Munich in 1950 at Christ Unterwegs.

The fine map is completed by a large title cartouche within a festoon, coat of arms of the region and that of Wroclaw and at the bottom left by a large allegorical vignette of the “Riesengebirgslied” the popular song of Silesia “Blue mountains, green valleys” written by Othmar Fiebiger.
