Korabinszky’s map gives us a detailed picture of the natural and economic resources of 18th century Hungary. Though maps of Hungary providing economic information had been made earlier, Korabinszky was the first to give such a wide-ranging picture of the country’s resources. Even the map internationally regarded as the pioneer in this field, Heinrich Wilhelm von Blum von Kempen’s Natur und Kunst Producten Atlas der Oestreichischen Deutschen Staaten [...] was published some years later, in 1796. Korabinszky’s map gives not only relatively well-known information, such as the location of former gold and silver mines; it also shows the natural habitat of the spoonbill, the wolf, the beaver, and other animals. Scholars today tend to dismiss this map because of its inaccurate depiction of the national minorities of the time, but precision in this area became possible only after detailed and accurate censuses were available. Even specialists are unaware that two versions of Korabinszky’s map are known: the first has a label C. Junker sc. Vienna in the bottom right-hand corner. Korabinszky hoped that Emperor Joseph II would help finance his map, but the Emperor’s death early in 1790 supervened. The second has the text Munificentia Excelmi. Dom. Comitus Francisci de Széchényi bottom left, while in the corner bottom right is the legend Junker, Pannonius sculptr. Vienna. 1791. This version shows that Korabinszky’s map finally appeared thanks to Count Ferenc Széchényi, whose largesse also established the National Library of Hungary in 1802.
