LOT #30890. Folded letter: from Przemsl(Poland) - 10.10.1893 to Drohobycz(Ukraina; Austro-Hungary) arr. 13.10.1893
Przemyśl [ˈpʂɛmɨɕl] ( listen) (German: Premissel) is a city in south-eastern Poland with 66,756 inhabitants, as of June 2009. In 1999, it became part of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship; it was previously the capital of Przemyśl Voivodeship.
Przemyśl owes its long and rich history to the advantages of its geographic location. The city lies in an area connecting mountains and lowlands known as the Przemyśl Gate, with open lines of transportation, and fertile soil. It also lies on the navigable San River. Important trade routes passed through Przemyśl and ensured the city's importance.
Drohobycz (ukr. Äðîãîáè÷, jid. דראָהאָביטש) – miasto rejonowe na Ukrainie, w obwodzie lwowskim, nad Tyśmienicą w Beskidach Brzeżnych. W 2001 roku liczyło ponad 77 tysięcy mieszkańców.
Drohobych (Ukrainian: Äðîãóáè÷; Polish: Drohobycz; Cities' alternative names) is a city located at the confluence of the Tysmenytsia River and Seret, a tributary of the former, in the Lviv Oblast (province), in western Ukraine. The current (as of 2011) estimated population is around 77 624.
While there are only legendary accounts of it, Drohobych probably existed in the Kievan Rus' period. According to one legend there was a settlement, called Bych, of the salt-traders. When Bych was destroyed in the Cumans raid, the survivors rebuilt the settlement at the nearby location under the current name which means the Second or Another Bych. In the time of the Kievan Rus' the Tustan fortress was built near Drohobych. However, scholars view this legend with skepticism, pointing out that Drohobych is a Polish pronunciation of Dorogobuzh, a common East Slavic toponym applied to three different towns of Kievan Rus'.
