Hungary on the maps
21. Townson, Robert: A new map of Hungary … London. 1797.
The English geologist Robert Townson travelled round Hungary in 1793 and published his observations in his Travels in Hungary. This included a map, based on Korabinszky’s Novissima regni Hungariae potamographica et telluris productorum tabula - Wasser und Producten Karte der Koenigreichs Ungarn - Magyarország természeti tulajdonságának tüköre (20), which Townson embellished with geological data. This map also appeared in subsequent Dutch and French translations of his book.
