19295372Philadelphia: Lemko Press 1929. Very good. Lithographed folding map approximately 32 x 40 inches printed in pink and black. Housed in original red wrappers printed in black. Modest wear along folds a couple of small separations at crossfolds light marginal toning. Wrappers with minor spine and edge wear. An extremely rare map of "Lemkovina" the homeland of the Lemko an Eastern Slavic people from the Central Carpathian Mountains where Poland Slovakia and Ukraine meet in the present day. From the late-19th century to the 1920s tens of thousands of Lemkos immigrated to the Unites States and Canada -- fleeing war oppression and seeking better economic opportunities. Once in the United States Lemko intellectuals founded institutions to preserve and promote Lemko culture in the New World and to lobby for sovereignty of the Lemko homeland. The present large-format map is an intriguing artifact of the Lemko-American immigrant experience. The map was drafted by the Lemko-American activist Dmitriy Vislocky and published by the Lemko Press in Philadelphia in 1929; it showcases the areas where the Lemko population prevailed as well as areas of mixed Lemko-Slovakian and Lemko-Polish demographics; while it does not explicitly define Lemkovina as a sovereign state its rhetorical direction is nevertheless clear.<br /> <br /> The Lemko are an Eastern Slavic people who originate from a large area along both slopes of the Central Carpathian Mountains in a region traditionally often referred to as "West Carpatho-Russia" located along the eastern stretch of today's border of Poland and Slovakia and extending slightly east into Ukraine. The Lemko language is akin to Ukrainian and is written in Cyrillic. Traditionally many consider the Lemkos to be a subgroup of Russians or Ukrainians although many Lemkos have tended to self-identify as a distinct ethnicity. The Lemkos have vibrant and sophisticated cultural traditions with distinct music folklore clothing and customs. Most Lemkos are Eastern rite or Byzantine-rite Catholics although some have converted to the Eastern Orthodox faith. The period leading up to during and after World War I was traumatic for the Lemkos. The group splintered their loyalties with some supporting the Russians both Red and White factions while others were sympathetic to Ukrainian nationalism and some either voluntarily or under coercion were allied with Austria-Hungary. Lemkos caught on the wrong side of events often met with cruel fates. In the aftermath of the war Lemkos who supported the Red Russians formed the "Lemko-Rusyn People's Republic" which existed from December 1918 to March 1920 a state that took in part of the northern slope of the Central Carpathians of Lemkovina. Meanwhile further to the east was the pro-Ukrainian "Eastern Lemko Republic" November 1918 to January 24 1919. However these republics were soon extinguished with all Lemkovina being divided between Czechoslovakia and Poland. The Lemkos in Poland would have a very difficult time as the Polish state considered them disloyal. Eventually they were forcibly displaced from their homeland. <br /> <br /> Lemkos began to immigrate to the United States and Canada in the late 19th century in good part due to economic opportunities. The greatest center of activity for Lemko peoples in North America was in Pennsylvania although large communities could be found across the American Northeast and Midwest as well as in places such as Toronto Canada. Many Lemkos found decent jobs initially in the burgeoning manufacturing industry. Smaller but still significant Lemko communities developed as far away as Colorado and Alberta where they were engaged in the ranching and mining industries. Today hundreds of thousands of North Americans count Lemko ancestry. Lemkos adjusted very well to life across the Atlantic and generally met with success. The most famous of all Lemko-Americans was the artist Andy Warhol 1928-1987 who was born in Pittsburgh the son of Lemko immigrant parents. In the 1920s Lemko intellectuals in America largely based in Pennsylvania formed a movement to preserve Lemko culture while lobbying for the eventual resurrection of an autonomous if not sovereign Lemko homeland – Lemkovina. However there was a great deal of internecine dispute over the nature of this proposed state as some favored a pro-Ukraine sovereign entity while others wanted it to be Soviet satellite yet the dream of a future sovereign Lemko nation of any sort was never to be realized as powers ranging from the Czechoslovak and Polish governments to Hitler and Stalin would never allow it. Lemko culture flourished in the U.S. and Canada centered around Lemko halls and churches and beginning in the 1920s a handful of small printing presses were established to serve and educate the community issuing Lemko-language almanacs primers newspapers and pamphlets. One of the most important of these houses was the Lemko Press of Philadelphia which under the leadership of Dmitriy Vislocky published the Lemko Gazette. The circle of the Lemko Press had a pronounced Ukrainophone allegiance and was at odds with some other Lemko-North American groups.<br /> <br /> As a major part of their campaign to define "Lemkovina" and call for its eventual nationhood presumably as a pro-Ukrainian sovereign state in opposition to both the Soviets and Poland Dmitriy Vislocky and the Lemko Press produced the present map. As best as we are aware it is the only large format map of the period to specifically show Lemkovina as a distinct entity and being published in Philadelphia it stands as a remarkable feat of Lemko-American immigrant cartography. The large format map executed to the ample scale of 1:200000 with text in Cyrillic and lithographed from a hand-drawn template shows the Polish-Slovakian frontier region which today extends east into Ukraine along the Central Carpathian Mountains an area traditionally sometimes known as "West Carpatho-Russia." A very rugged and rural area it is roughly framed by the the Dunajec River in the west and the San and Uzh Rivers in the east and with the cities of Nowy S cz Poland to the northwest and Košice Slovakia to the southeast. The map delineates all major rivers roads and railways and locates cities towns and villages. The legend below the title explains the color-coding employed to define demographic areas. Territory shaded in bold pink are of majority ‘Russian’ meaning Lemko and Rusyn population i.e. core Lemkovina while the areas covered by southwest-northeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Slovakian population and the areas with northwest-southeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Polish population. Beyond are labeled the lands of Poland to the north Slovakia to the south Eastern Galicia to the northeast and Sub-Karpatsky Russia Ukraine to the southwest while the map defines the Polish-Czechoslovak border as it was then internationally recognized. While the map does not explicitly state that Lemkovina is a country Dmitriy Vislocky’s sovereignist direction of travel is nevertheless clear.<br /> <br /> The present map is extremely rare. It was likely issued in only a small print run and the survival rate of such fragile ephemeral American immigrant publications is very low. We can trace only a single institutional example of the map held by the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford University. Beyond that we are aware of only a single other example as having appeared on the market in the last twenty-five years.<br /> David Rumsey Map Collection Stanford University: 11153.000.

Seven large linen-backed colour lithograph maps sized from 43.5 x 72 in. to 51.5 x 60 in. all mounted on their original spring-loaded rollers wooden pull dowel & metal ring pull some creasing minor edgewear creasing soot soiling to the lower margin averaging about 6-7 in. due to exposure when rolled “Europe†and “United States†with faint tidemark & discoloration at left margin some minor creasing wear all preserved in the original A.J. Nystrom quarter-sawn oak wall bracket sized 58.5 x 15.25 x 3.25 in. all pull-down maps firmly secured in their steel brackets preserving 6 of the 7 original labels on the edge of the pull-down dowels still a VG- set of maps in their original configuration. First editions thus of this complete and exceptional example of the Atwood/A.J. Nystrom Regional-Political Series Map Case reflecting the many geographical and political changes between World War I and World War II. Such changes are reflected in the appearance of Manchoukuo the Japanese controlled rump state established in Manchuria in 1932 by the Japanese Empire and also depicting Korea still as Chosen. The Europe map depicts the East Prussia still controlled by the Weimar Republic and then after Hitler ascended to power; while Africa still retains much of the colonial powers as shown in the Belgian Congo Anglo-Egyptian Sudan French Equatorial Africa and even Beuchuanaland. The Australia and the Far East Map clearly defines the Japanese United States British & Australian mandates across the South Pacific. Atwood 1872-1949 was a noted geographer and educator who was a member of both the New Jersey and Wisconsin Geological Surveys served in the US Geological Survey served as professor of Physiography at Harvard and later from 1920-1946 when he produced these maps was President of Clark University and Head of its School of Geography.
