Antique Map of Germany c.1830 by Thomas Kelly – Hand-Coloured Copper Engraving
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Map of Germany by Thomas Kelly, London, circa 1830, with hand colouring Finely engraved map of Germany titled 'Germany', published by Thomas Kelly at 17 Paternoster Row, London, circa 1830.

Borders are hand-coloured by region, and major rivers, mountain ranges, and cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Munich are clearly marked. Engraved by H. Cooper. This beautifully detailed copperplate engraving features original hand colouring and displays the political divisions of early 19th-century Germany, including Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Württemberg, along with neighboring regions such as Austria, Switzerland, Bohemia, and parts of Poland and France. Major cities like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt are clearly marked, as well as rivers, mountain ranges, and regional borders. Engraved by H. Cooper. A fine historical map ideal for collectors, interior decorators, or anyone with an interest in European history or cartography.
