About the Item

Title: Antique Map of Northern Germany and the Netherlands – circa 1806 Description: This finely engraved antique map, titled L'Allemagne 1re Feuille, depicts the northern regions of Germany, the Netherlands, and part of England. The map is from an 18th-century or early 19th-century French atlas and showcases detailed geographical information, including cities, rivers, and political boundaries of the period. The coastlines of the North Sea (Mer d'Allemagne) are well-defined, with major port cities such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Bremen clearly marked. England's eastern coastline, including London, Yarmouth, and Ipswich, is also featured. The map includes a scale conversion chart in the upper left corner, allowing for measurements in various units, including German miles, French leagues, and marine leagues. The hand-colored borders distinguish different political entities, reflecting the fragmented nature of the Holy Roman Empire at the time.

This is a highly detailed and historically significant map, perfect for collectors of European cartography or historical geography enthusiasts.
