Very good. Minor overall toning. Blank on verso. Size 9 x 11 Inches. This is a fine 1852 map of Hispania or Spain under the Roman Empire by Joseph Meyer. It depicts the Iberian Peninsula under the Roman Empire from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, including the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca. The Roman provinces of Tarraconensis, Baetica and Lusitania are identified. This highly detailed map notes several rivers, ancient towns, cities and other topography, with elevation rendered by hachure. Although the Romans controlled most of the Iberian Peninsula from about 218 BC, it took them close to two centuries to fully subjugate the region. This map was issued in Meyer's Zeitung Atlas . Although all the maps in this atlas are not individually dated, the title page and maps were often updated while the imprint with the date was not, causing confusion to the exact date for some of the maps. Moreover some maps in the atlas were taped in at a later date as an update to the atlas. We have dated the maps in this collection to the best of our ability.

Very good. Original centerfold. Blank on verso. Size 17 x 12 Inches. This is a fine example of J. Migeon's 1878 map of the German empire. It covers the German Confederation from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea and from France to the Austro-Hungarian empire. The lower left quadrant features a table listing the states of the German Confederation. In the upper right quadrant there is a beautiful decorative illustration of Mayence (Mainz). The German Confederation, created in 1814, acted as a buffer zone between Austria and Prussia, its two largest and most powerful member states. Nonetheless the rivalry between the two powerful states intensified until the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War. Prussia won the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, ultimately leading to the collapse of the German Confederation. A few years later, in 1871, most of the former Confederation states were folded into the newly proclaimed German empire. Migeon identifies various railway lines, rivers, mountain passes and other topographical features. Migeon's Geographie Universelle , published in Paris, is one of the last great decorative atlases of the 19th century. It contains many stylistic elements of early 19th century cartography such as full hand coloring, numerous decorative vignettes, and high quality paper. This map was issued as plate no. 19 in Migeon's Geographie Universelle .
