Very good. Original centerfold. Blank on verso. Size 13 x 18 Inches. This is a fine example of Conrad Malte-Brun's 1835 map of europe. The map covers the entire continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains and from the Arctic Ocean to northern Africa and Turkey. It includes Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, european Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Ireland, Great Britain, Turkey in europe and Greece. Issued following the defeat of Napoleonic France and the Congress of Vienna, europe is shown under a new peaceful balance of power, centered around the five most important powers (also referred to as the five 'Great Powers'): the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Prussia and the Austrian empire. Alas, the 'peace' was but an illusion as the treaties ending the Napoleonic era were inherently flawed. Old rivalries festered and nationalism, liberalism, revolution (industrial and otherwise) was once again on the rise throughout europe. Various cities, countries, towns, islands, rivers, lakes and various other topographical details are marked, with relief shown by hachures. Boundaries are color coded according to countries and regions. This map was issued as plate no. 29 in Conrad Malte-Brun's 1837 Atlas Complet du Precis de la Geographie Universelle . References: Rumsey 0458.029 (1834 edition). Phillips (Atlases) 6079.
