"GDP per Capita in Europe in 1890 (in 2017 $)"
From Brilliant Maps:
Map created by Reddit user Kamil1707
The map above shows the very approximate GDP per capita for various
European states in 1890. Below we look at how these have changed over
the past 127 years.
The table below lists most entities for which data are shown on the
map. However, not all these entities were sovereign states in 1890 and
the list includes some that were dependencies of other states at the
time.
The table compares GDP (PPP) per capita in thousands of 2017 US dollars
in 1890 and 2017. However, it should be noted that the boundaries of
some states have shifted between the two dates, so that comparisons in
such cases are approximate at best....

...Observations:
All the countries listed have experienced significant growth in GDP (PPP) per capita since 1890, most by a factor of 10 or more. However, there is a wide variation in the amount of growth, ranging from around $10,000 to $68,000.
The largest such gains were experienced by Norway ($67.7K), Switzerland ($55.9K), Netherlands ($48.8K), Sweden ($48.7K), Germany ($45.7K) and Denmark ($45.4K).
Those gaining the least were Bosnia & Herzegovina ($9.9K), Serbia ($13.7K), Montenegro ($15.9K), Bulgaria ($19.7K), Romania ($21.9K) and Croatia ($22.0K)....
