By: Richard Edes Harrison Pub. Fortune MagazineDate: September 1939 - New York, NY Dimensions: 13.75 x 22 inches (35 x 56 cm)This is a WWII era map depicting Germany, its resources, industries, and other factors to take into consideration with regards to their potential as an adversary in war. The map appeared in the September 1939 issue of Fortune Magazine.The work consist of eight maps presenting different data sets that include mineral, livestock, and agricultural products, basic and consumer industries, rail and aviation systems between Germany and their neighbors, as well as internal transportation systems. The first map at top left compares the population density and latitude of Germany to the United States.The title of the mapGrossdeutschland translates to "Greater Germany" or "Big Germany," which in this case refers to the ideaa single German state that included Austria. The name wasinformally adopted by Nazi Germany after annexing Austria in March of 1938 at the very beginning of WWII.Condition: Map is in A condition, printed on two separate sheets and professionally joined at the center.

Extremely rare itinerary map of Northwestern Europe in the time of Napoleon, printed on linen. It encompasses the north of the French empire, including present day Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and northern France down to Paris, as well as the confederation of the Rhine (present day Germany) to Berlin in the east, and Stuttgart in the south. The present edition of the map printed on linen is very rare, as we have only been able to trace one other copy in sales records of the past 100 years, and none in institutions.The map shows the routes between the major cities, indicating post stations as well as the time of travel between each stop. These routes have here been coloured in red, and the rivers, canals and sea are coloured in blue.The present map is most likely the first edition, but this is difficult to ascertain, as it is not dated. Later editions followed, as well as an English translation in 1815. On the (separate) map for the later editions (also printed on linen) the borders are adapted to the political situation of the time after 1815: the borders of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are indicated and "Royaume des Pays Bas" is added (including "et Pays-Bas" at the end of the title). On our map the Netherlands are rendered as belonging to the French Empire (after 1810), meaning it must have been printed before the other examples.The map is slightly frayed around the edges, with some soiling/staining, mostly on the right half. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Picarta (1 copy, later ed.); WorldCat 71396772 (2 copies, later ed.). Folded. An engraved map printed on linen (ca. 33.5 x 43 cm.), partly coloured by hand in red and blue ink.

Very good condition. Blank on verso. Size 13 x 16.5 Inches. A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of southern Germany. This map covers the 19th century German provinces of Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Baden and Pfalz, as well as numerous smaller regions. Divided and color coded according to regional divisions. Throughout, Colton identifies various cities, towns, forts, rivers and assortment of additional topographical details. Surrounded by Colton's typical spiral motif border. Dated and copyrighted to J. H. Colton, 1855. Publication History and Census Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 8.5 Inches. This is a beautiful 1749 map of the northern portion of Upper Saxony, in what is now Northeast Germany and Northwest Poland, by Robert de Vaugondy. In includes the Duchy of Pomerania and Brandenburg and extends from Berlin to Bamberg. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. The 'circles' of Germany are the 'imperial circles,' administrative units created for tax and defense purposes by the Holy Roman Empire, of which these areas were a part. The Napoleonic Wars would, of course, dissolve the Holy Roman Empire and lead to the consolidation of Germany in 1871. In 1180 Duke Henry the Lion fell, and the medieval Duchy of Saxony dissolved. The Saxe-Wittenberg lands were passed among dynasties who took the tribal name Sachsen (Saxons) upstream as they conquered the lands of the Polabian Slavs further up the Elbe. The Polabian Slavs had migrated to this area of Germany in the second half of the first millennium A.D., and had been largely assimilated by the Holy Roman Empire by the time this map was made. Today, the German government recognizes some 60,000 'Sorbs,' or descendants of the Polabian Slavs, who have retained their language and culture. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire . References: Pedley, M. S., Bel et Utile, p. 177, 262.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 8.5 x 7 Inches. This is an appealing 1749 map of Westphalia, Germany by the French cartographer Robert de Vaugondy. Extends from the Elbe south to Kolbenz. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, noting towns, cities, rivers, forests, and a host other topographical features. Westphalia was one of the 'imperial circles' created by the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s. These groupings of regional territories were designed for defensive, tax, and administrative purposes within the Empire. The map outlines the feudal Duchies and Counties of Westphalia as they were before being joined with other Prussian states in 'The Kingdom of Westphalia,' briefly a French vassal state under Napoleon from 1807-1816. The area was made famous in 1648 when the 'Peace of Westphalia' was signed in Munster and Osnabruck, ending the Thirty Years' War. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire . References: Pedley, M. S., Bel et Utile, p. 176, 257.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 8 Inches. This is an attractive 1749 map of Swabia, Germany by Robert de Vaugondy. It covers the southwestern parts of Germany along with parts of Switzerland. The map extends from Zurich in Switzerland north to Speyer in Germany and east as far as Donauworth. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. The 'circles' of Germany are the 'imperial circles,' administrative units created for tax and defense purposes by the Holy Roman Empire, of which these areas were a part. Prior the French Revolutionary Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Holy Roman Empire's Circle of Swabia was bordered by Franconia, Bavaria, Palatinate, France and Switzerland. Since the Reformation, the region had been one of the most divided in Europe, with secular princes and Free Cities becoming Protestant, and the ecclesiastical territories (including the Bishoprics of Augsburg, Konstanz and others) remaining Catholic, as did the territories belonging to the Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns and the Margrave of Baden-Baden. The Napoleonic Wars dissolved the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, leading to Germany's eventual consolidation in 1871. With a reputation for being extremely serious and hardworking, Swabia has produced many famous native sons-- Einstein, Brecht, Hegel, Kepler, and of course, Roland Emmerich. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire . References: Pedley, M. S., Bel et Utile, p. 179, 271.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 7 Inches. This is a lovely 1749 map of the Circle of Franconia, Germany, by Robert de Vaugondy. Centered on Bamberg, it covers from Heneberg south to Aichstet and from Reineck east to Egra. Today Franconia is a historic district and has been consolidated with Bavaria. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. The 'circles' of Germany are the 'imperial circles,' administrative units created for tax and defense purposes by the Holy Roman Empire, of which these areas were a part.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 8.5 Inches. This is a fine 1749 map of Lower Saxony, in what is now Central Germany by Robert de Vaugondy. As shown here, Lower Saxony was bordered by Denmark and the Baltic Sea to the north, Westphalia to the west, Pomerania to the Northeast, and the Circle of Upper Saxony to the south and west. It includes the circle of Lower Saxony and extends from Gottingen north to Stralsund and from Berlin west as far as Oldenburg. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. Lower Saxony was one of the 'imperial circles' created by the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s. These groupings of regional territories were designed for defensive, tax, and administrative purposes within the Empire. During the French Revolutionary Wars, the Hanoverian Duke and British King George III allied with the Prussians against Napoleon, which nonetheless did not prevent the French ruler from briefly invading and occupying the territory. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire . References: Pedley, M. S., Bel et Utile, p. 177, 260.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 7 Inches. This is a beautiful 1748 map of the Bavaria, in the southeast part of Germany by Robert de Vaugondy. It includes the Archbishopric of Saltzburg, and the Electorate of Bavaria and extends from Bamberg southto Innsbruck and east as far as Linz. Rivers, roads, lakes and other topography is also noted throughout, with mountains beautifully rendered in profile. Prior to the French Revolutionary War and the Congress of Vienna, the Holy Roman Empire's Circle of Bavaria included the Archbishopric of Salzburg, and was bordered by Franconia, Bohemia, Swabia, and Austria. After several wars with, and occupation by, Austria, the old Bavarian elector Max III Joseph died, leaving Bavaria and the electoral Palatinate to be governed once again in personal union. The Napoleonic Wars dissolved the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, briefly making Bavaria an independent kingdom and doubling its size, until Germany consolidated in 1871. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire . References: Pedley, M. S., Bel et Utile, p. 179, 273.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor foxing. Size 7 x 6.5 Inches. This is a nice 1749 map of the Upper Rhine and Lower Rhine regions in western Germany by Robert de Vaugondy. It covers from Speyer north to Waldeck and from Juliers east as far as Fulda. The cities of Frankfurt, Cologne, Mainz, and Dusseldorf are noted. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile.

The 'circles' of Germany are the 'imperial circles,' administrative units created for tax and defense purposes by the Holy Roman Empire, of which these areas were a part.

Very good. Minor foxing at places. Blank on verso. Size 9.5 x 8 Inches. This is a lovely example of Thomas Ewing's 1845 map of Germany in two parts. The map covers all of Germany from Denmark to Switzerland and depicts individual German states. Throughout, various cities, towns, rivers, lakes, roadways and an assortment of additional topographical details are noted. After the defeat of Napoleon, the Congress of Vienna created The German Confederation to coordinate the economies of these separate but culturally related German-speaking countries. The Confederation acted as a buffer zone between Austria and Prussia, the two largest and most powerful member states. In 1848, the March Revolution swept through Europe, in particular Germany. These Revolutions were nationalist pro-German, pan-German, declarations of discontent with the archaic autocratic political structure that dated to the 39 original German states established under the Holy Roman Empire. The years following the violent suppression of the March Revolution saw a vast middle class exodus from the German states to the United States, leading to 'Germantown USA,' and popular interest among Americans in the Fatherland. This map was published in 1845 by Oliver and Boyd as part of Ewing's New General Atlas .

Very good condition. Blank on verso. Size 13 x 16.5 Inches. A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of western Germany. Covers the 19th century German provinces of Westphalia, the Rhein Provinces, and numerous smaller regions. Divided and color coded according to regional divisions. Throughout, Colton identifies various cities, towns, forts, rivers and assortment of additional topographical details. Surrounded by Colton's typical spiral motif border. Dated and copyrighted to J. H. Colton, 1855. Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City. Issued as page no. 13 in volume 2 of the first edition of George Washington Colton's 1855 Atlas of the World .

Very good. Typical wear and toning along original centerfold. Minor foxing. Size 25 x 17 Inches. This is a beautiful example of the western sheets from A. J. Johnson and R. Browning's 1861 Germany series. The map is divided into two separate maps within the same border. The upper map depicts the states of Westphalia, Clevesberg (Rhein Provinces), Hessen Cassel Darmstadt, Brunswick, Schwarzburg, Frankfurt, Waldeck, Reuss, Saxen Coburg Gotha Meiningen, Saxen Altenburg, Weimar and Luxemburg. The lower map focuses on Bavaria, Wurtenburg, Baden, Frankfurt and Hessen Homburg. Depicting the large and awkward range of the German Confederation has always been a challenge for Johnson. This is one of Johnson's earliest attempts, dividing the region into four separate maps, Germany 1, 2, and 3, and a separate Prussia sheet. Various towns, cities, railways, rivers and several other topographical features are noted with relief shown by hachure. It features the strapwork style border common to Johnson's atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Published by A. J. Johnson and Browning as plate nos. 75 and 76 in the 1861 edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas . This is the last edition of the Johnson Atlas to bear the 'Johnson and Browning' imprint. Subsequent editions reflect Ward's 1862 acquisition Ross C. Browning's shares in the firm.

Very good. Original centerfold visible. Blank on verso. Size 13.5 x 17 Inches. This is a fine example of Conrad Malte-Brun's 1843 map of the Germanic Confederation. The map covers Germany from Holstein to the Adriatic Sea. A table along the right margin lists the states comprising the Germanic Confederation. The modern day countries of Poland, Czech Republic and Austria are included. After the defeat of Napoleon, the Congress of Vienna created The German Confederation to coordinate the economies of these separate but culturally related German-speaking countries. The Confederation acted as a buffer zone between Austria and Prussia, the two largest and most powerful member states. Nonetheless the rivalry between the two powerful states increased until it finally broke out into the Austro-Prussian War. Prussia won the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 which ultimately led 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. Boundaries are color coded according to states and districts. Various cities, towns, rivers, lakes and other topographical details are marked, with relief shown by hachure. This map was issued as plate nos. 48 and 49 in Conrad Malte-Brun's 1843 Precis de la Geographie Universelle .

Very good. Original centerfold. Size 13 x 16 Inches. A particularly interesting map, this is Karl von Spruner's 1865 rendering of Germany (or Germania) in antiquity. Like most of Spruner's work this example overlays ancient political geographies on relatively contemporary physical geographies, thus identifying the sites of forgotten towns and villages, the movements of armies, and the disposition of lands in the region. This particular map focuses on the regions of Germania Inferior (which was a pacified Roman Province) and the more troublesome Germania Magna (Greater Germany) which resisted all attempts at Roman rule. As a whole the map labels important cities, rivers, mountain ranges and other minor topographical detail. Territories and countries outlined in color. All text is in Latin. The whole is rendered in finely engraved detail exhibiting the fine craftsmanship for which the Perthes firm is known. Of particular interest to classical scholars. References: Rumsey 1626.019.
