About the Item
Antique Map of Southwestern Germany & Switzerland – Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, 1858
Detailed antique map titled "Südwestliches Deutschland mit Bayern, Würtemberg, Baden, Hohenzollern und Schweiz", published by Justus Perthes in Gotha in 1858. This copperplate engraving presents a richly detailed view of Southwestern Germany and Switzerland during the mid-19th century, a time of growing national consciousness and evolving regional alliances prior to German unification.
The map encompasses the southern German states of Bavaria (Bayern), Württemberg, Baden, and Hohenzollern, extending southward into Switzerland and westward to the Rhine. A wealth of cities, roads, and rivers are labeled, including Munich (München), Stuttgart, Freiburg, Augsburg, and Zurich. Switzerland’s mountainous topography is carefully engraved, as is the Black Forest region of Baden.
Administrative boundaries are outlined in vivid hand-coloring, and a key at lower right lists abbreviations for Bavarian districts. The Alpine terrain is represented with shaded relief, conveying the geographical transition from southern Germany into the Swiss Alps and northern Tyrol.
This map is valuable not only for its political geography but also for its finely rendered depiction of terrain and infrastructure during a pivotal period in Central European history. Its detail and clarity make it a compelling item for collectors of maps focusing on German regional history or the early modern Swiss Confederation.
