About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Denmark and German Empire Regions, 1903, Intricate and Colorful
Description:
This antique map, titled "Denmark with North West Portions of the German Empire," was engraved and published in 1903 by the distinguished cartographers W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It presents a beautifully detailed view of Denmark, along with northern Germany including Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, Anhalt, and Lippe, offering a fascinating snapshot of this region at the turn of the 20th century.
The map is elegantly hand-colored in soft pastel shades to demarcate regional and national boundaries, creating a visually harmonious and informative composition. Denmark’s iconic peninsulas, islands, and fjords are clearly depicted, as are the railway lines, rivers, and major cities that defined the region’s economic and social landscape during this era. Inset maps of the Faroe Islands and Iceland add an extra dimension to this comprehensive portrayal.
Particularly striking is the clear delineation of the shifting political boundaries in northern Germany—a region undergoing significant transitions at the time. The map’s intricate linework and precise typography demonstrate the exceptional quality of Johnston’s craftsmanship and the depth of information included.
For collectors and lovers of history, this map is more than a decorative artifact. It represents a moment in time when Europe’s political and geographic landscape was dynamic and interconnected, capturing the essence of a region known for its maritime culture, trade networks, and complex relationships between neighboring states.
