'Austria—Map A'


Official annex map defining the four Allied occupation zones established in Austria after the defeat of Nazi Germany. Prepared for the agreement adopted by the European Advisory Commission on 9 July 1945 and published in the British Treaty Series in 1946, it places Vorarlberg and Tirol under France; Salzburg and the part of Upper Austria south of the Danube under the United States; Carinthia, East Tirol and most of Styria under the United Kingdom; and Lower Austria, Burgenland and northern Upper Austria under the Soviet Union. Vienna appears as a separate jointly occupied area within the Soviet zone. Bold zonal outlines are laid over a pale 1:1,000,000 base map, with international, Reichsgau and occupation boundaries differentiated in the key. A primary cartographic document of the immediate post-war settlement, the plan records the territorial framework that governed Austria until the Allied withdrawal and restoration of full sovereignty in 1955.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
