Very good. Even overall toning. Blank on verso. Size 12.5 x 10.5 Inches. This is an 1849 Samuel Augustus Mitchell map of Denmark. The map depicts all of Denmark inclusive of the Duchy of Holstein. A list along the upper left border notes Denmark's five Provinces: Aalborg, Viborg, Ribe, Aarhuus, and To Oldenburg. Political and topographical features are noted and color coded with elevation rendered by hachure. The whole is engraved and colored in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels. Mitchell published this map in his atlas from 1846 to the late 1850s before discontinuing the series and selling his map plates to DeSilver. This map was issued in the 1849 edition of the New Universal Atlas . It was the last edition of that atlas to be published by Mitchell prior to selling the plates and rights to the atlas to Thomas Cowperthwait in 1850. References: Rumsey 0545.057.
