1) EUROPEAN RAILWAYS ABOUT 1875
This is a French detailed map of the European rail network published approximately
in 1875. The borders of the European countries are shown as they were
before the Congress of Berlin (June-July 1878) but some later railways
are marked by simple black lines, like the Simplon tunnel (1906). This map was
made by the geographers A.T. Chartier and Th. Gobert and engraved by E.
Kollmann.

2) CZECHIA
The
Czech Republic is a country of tales and legends. Everywhere, one can
see Art Nouveau sculptures and decorated houses. In the Europe Photos
section, you will discover some pictures of Czechia, most of them being
related to history.
Remember that Borivoj the Ploughman was the first Duke of Bohemia and
that the country was evangelized by Cyril and Methodius (9th cent.),
the missionaries coming from Thessaloniki.
