1830 Map of Northern England and Durham, Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland

About the Item

Title: Antique 1830 Map of Northern England with Durham, Cumberland, Westmorland, and Northumberland Description: This 1830 German-language map, titled Britisches Reich – A. Kon: England, focuses on northern England and highlights the counties of Durham, Westmorland, Cumberland, and Northumberland. The map was published in Leipzig by Georg Joachim Goschen as part of the Atlas von Europa nebst den Kolonien, designed for businesspeople, newspaper readers, and owners of the Conversations-Lexicon. It was lithographed by O. Hermann and edited by W. E. A. von Schlieben. Each county is outlined in hand-applied color, distinguishing political boundaries. Major cities and towns such as Newcastle, Durham, Carlisle, and Lancaster are marked, along with significant geographical features, including 'the coastline along the North Sea (Deutsche Meer) and the Irish Sea (Irische Meer)'. The Scottish border is clearly defined at the top of the map. This map exemplifies early 19th-century European cartographic precision, reflecting the influence of German publishers in producing detailed maps of the British Isles. Condition Report: Paper Quality: 19th-century laid paper with natural toning. Engraving: Crisp lithographic print with sharp details. Coloring: Original hand-applied outline coloring, well-preserved. Margins: Wide margins with light foxing and minor discoloration. Overall Condition: Very good, with no significant tears or defects. Framing Tips: Matting: Use an acid-free off-white mat to highlight the map’s aged character. Glass: Museum-grade UV-protective glass to prevent fading. Frame Style: A simple dark wood or gilt frame complements its antique style. Mounting: Archival backing for long-term preservation. This is a fine example of German-published 19th-century cartography, ideal for collectors of British and European maps.
