Very good. Minor foxing at places. Blank on verso. Size 9.5 x 8 Inches. This is a scarce 1845 Thomas Ewing map of Denmark. It covers all of Denmark inclusive of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Numerous towns, rivers, roads, mountains and other important topographical features are noted throughout. During the time this map was made, Denmark was on the brink of the First Schleswig War between Prussia, Germany and the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig against the Kingdom of Denmark. In 1848, when the king of Denmark, Frederick VII, proposed that the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein be formally recognized as part of the Danish Kingdom, the predominantly German population of the two duchies rebelled for a free constitution, resulting in war. Denmark ultimately won the war and retained control of Schleswig-Holstein. This map was published in 1845 by Oliver and Boyd as part of Ewing's New General Atlas .

Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Slight overall toning. Size 10 x 8 Inches. This is an attractive example of the 1828 Malte-Brun map of Denmark. The map covers all of Denmark inclusive of the Duchy of Holstein. The Kattegat (Cattegat) is also identified. At this time in history, Scandinavia was in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and population boom. Various, important rivers, islands, cities and other topographical details are noted. This map was published by Samuel Walker in 1828 as part of the American edition of Conrad Malte-Brun's System of Geography , Vol. I.

Very good. Blank on verso. Size 11.5 x 14.5 Inches. This is a fine example of William M. Bradley's 1887 map of Russia, Norway, Sweden, Holland Belgium and Denmark. Maps of Denmark, Holland and Belgium relegated to insets on the left hand side of the sheet. The larger map covers Scandinavia and the european portion of Russia from the Arctic Ocean to Turkey, including the european portions of Russia as well as Finland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and estonia. Denmark is covered in full, from the Skagerrak to the Baltic Sea. Holland and Belgium are covered from the North Sea to France. Russia at this time was under the suzerainty of Tzar Alexander the II. Alexander is best known for his liberal reforms including the emancipation Reform of 1861. The Reform, considered the most important event in 19th century Russian history, liberated Russia's countless serfs. In 1830, the Belgian Revolution led to the secession of Belgium from the United Kingdom of Netherlands into the independent Kingdom of Belgium. Though Belgium had successfully made itself independent, the Netherlands refused to recognize the new country until the 1839 Treaty of London. Meanwhile Scandinavia and Denmark at the time were in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and economic boom. Various towns, cities, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details are noted. Map is color coded according to regional and political boundaries with elevation rendered by hachure.

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.

References: Rumsey 2905.044 (1860 edition).

Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor spotting at places. Blank on verso. Size 10.5 x 8.5 Inches. This is affine example of T. G. Bradford's 1835 map of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Lapland. Centered on the Gulf of Bothnia, it covers all of Scandinavia, from Finmark to Denmark. Towns, rivers, mountains, lakes, and various other important topographical details are noted. Elevation throughout is rendered by hachure and political and regional territories are color coded. The legendary and semi-mythical whirlpool known as the Maelstrom (Mahlstrom) in northwestern Norway is noted. This legendary whirlpool was the inspiration for Edgar Allen Poe's classic tale 'Descent into the Maelstrom.' In reality, it is a periodic and powerful current caused by tidal variations in the region. As this map was being printed, all of Scandinavia was in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and population boom. The map was published as plate no. 96 in Thomas G. Bradford's 1835 Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical and Commercial . Bradford's atlas, published in 1835 was an important work on many levels. First, it was one of the first American atlases to follow an encyclopedic format, offering readers extensive geographical and statistical tables to supplement the maps themselves. Second, it was published in Boston and influenced the city's rise as a publishing center later in the 19th century (at the time most publishing in the United States was restricted to New York and Philadelphia). Third, this atlas was the first to contain a separate and specific map showing the Republic of Texas. Fourth and finally, Bradford's atlas in some instances broke the Euro-centric mold regarding atlas production. Among other things, Bradford focused his atlas on the Americas and abandoned the classical decoration common in European atlases in favor of a more informational and inherently American approach. Bradford published this atlas in several editions and with various partners. The first edition was published by William D. Ticktor and did not contain the iconic Republic of Texas map (although we have in fact seen Ticktor examples with a Texas map, suggesting, against conventional wisdom, that there may have been two Ticktor editions). The second official edition, published in the same year by the American Stationers Company, was the first to contain the Republic of Texas map, which is based on Austin's map, with two pages of descriptive text. A third edition was issued in 1836, also by American Stationers (though still dated 1835), and contained an unaltered Republic of Texas map with only a single page of descriptive test. A fourth edition appeared later, possibly 1837, and included an updated and revised map of Texas that replaces the old Mexican land grants with new inchoate counties. The maps from this atlas are an important addition to any collection focusing on early American cartography and Republic of Texas cartography. All maps in this atlas, though not specifically noted as such, were most likely engraved by G. W. Boynton of Boston, who also engraved most of the maps for Bradford's later publication.

Very good. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Size 12.5 x 9.5 Inches. This is a finely detailed 1793 map of Denmark and Holstein, by Robert Wilkinson. It covers all of Denmark including the Duchy of Holstein. Denmark prospered greatly in the last decades of the 18th century because its neutral status allowed it to trade with both sides in the many contemporary wars. In the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark originally tried to pursue a policy of neutrality to continue the lucrative trade with both France and Great Britain and joined the League of Armed Neutrality with Russia, Sweden and Prussia. This map was engraved by Thomas Conder and issued as plate no. 5 in the 1792 edition of Robert Wilkinson's General Atlas .

By: John ThomsonDate: 1814 (Published) EdinburghDimensions: 22 x 18.5 inches (55.9 x 47 cm)This handsome large format map from Thomson's New General Atlas features 1814 Scandinavia, including Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Modern-day Finland is also depicted, but is shown to be part of the Kingdom of Sweden as it was at the time. Some territories of northern Europe and Russia are also shown, including famed Lake Ladoga on whose frozen surface Alexander Nevsky defeated a large group of Teutonic Knights in the winter of 1242.Another interesting landmark noted by Thomson is the Norwegian Moskenstraumen, the series of unusually strong whirlpools often referred to as the Maelstrom, which is located between two islands in northwestern Norway. The theme of this phenomenon occurred in early Nordic mythology and was later popularized in America by Edgar Allen Poe in one of his short stories.The map is engraved in the minimalist English style pioneered in the early part of the 19th century, a style which reduced maps' decorative elements to a minimum. Relief is shown by hachure with towns, cities, and major topographical features all identified.John Thomson (1777 - 1841) was a Scottish cartographer, publisher, and bookbinder active in Edinburgh during the early part of the 19th century. Thomson apprenticed under Edinburgh bookbinder Robert Alison. Thomson was one of the leading publishers in the Edinburgh school of cartography, which flourished in the early decades of the 19th century. Thomson and his contemporaries (Pinkerton and Cary) redefined European cartography by abandoning typical 18th century decorative elements such as elaborate title cartouches and fantastic beasts in favor of detail and accuracy.Condition: This superb large format map on heavy paper is in A condition.

By: John ThomsonDate: 1814 (circa) EdinburghDimensions: 19.75 x 23.25 (50.17 x 59.06 cm)This handsome large format map from Thomson's New General Atlas features Denmark along with two insets depicting Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. Portions of Sweden and Germany are also depicted. The maps are engraved in the minimalist English style pioneered in the early part of the 19th century, a style which reduced maps' decorative elements to a minimum. Relief is shown by hachure with towns, cities, and major topographical features all identified.On December 1st, 1918, a Danish-Icelandic federal law was passed in both parliaments establishing Iceland as an independent state yet retaining a personal union with Denmark. Thus while Iceland is a free and sovereign state with an independent government, it yet has political ties to Denmark.Iceland has been mapped countless times, and Thomson's map offers relatively little detail when compared with many other maps of the island. It does depict the rugged terrain of the island, but offers little more in detail than the naming of major ports, cities and fjords. The volcanic features of the island are popular tourist attractions but are not named in this map.The Faroe Islands consist of a group of 18 volcanic islands in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The Islands are a self-governing island territory of Denmark. They have a population of nearly 50,000, and a language and culture of their own, the populace being largely descended from Viking settlers. When visiting the Faroes one is never more than 5 km (3 miles) away from the ocean.John Thomson (1777 - 1841) was a Scottish cartographer, publisher, and bookbinder active in Edinburgh during the early part of the 19th century.
