Poland


PL-1059943


This postcard from Poland is a reproduction of an old postcard circa 1905 of Bielsko-Biała, which then was known as "Little Vienna."  At the time this image was made, Poland did not exist on the map, having been occupied and taken over for over 100 years by the neighboring empires of Austria-Hungary, Prussia, and imperial Russia, known as the Partitions of Poland.  

Bielsko-Biała was in the part of the country that had been partitioned by Austria.
