The work represents the first one if its kind in modern Romania, issued upon the initiative of the Romanian Geographic Society, under the patronage of King Carol I and the Romanian Academy. The documentation efforts were huge, and the early setbacks, notably occurred due to the Geographic Society and the Romanian Academy ignoring the disseminated specialistic questionnaires were a threat to this project's success, finally completed thanks to the editors' perseverance and the financial involvement of the Romanian Academy. The work was award-winning during the 1906 Romanian Jubilee Exhibition, in Bucharest.
