About the Item

Denmark & German Empire – Antique Map by A.K. Johnston, 1882 Atlas Edition This detailed antique map titled Denmark with North-West portion of the German Empire comprising Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, Brunswick, Mecklenburgh, Oldenburg, Anhalt, Lippe &c. offers a comprehensive view of Denmark and adjacent German territories as understood in the late 19th century. The map was published in 1882 by the renowned Scottish firm W. and A.K. Johnston for The Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, a landmark work reflecting the latest discoveries and political boundaries of the era. Drawn by Alexander Keith Johnston LLD, a leading geographer of his time, the map presents Denmark in fine detail, highlighting provinces, towns, railway lines, rivers, and topographical contours. Insets show the island of Iceland, a detailed plan of Copenhagen, and the Elbe River. The map reflects the geopolitical structure shortly after the Second Schleswig War (1864), in which Denmark lost Schleswig and Holstein to Prussia and Austria—making this a historically significant piece. The Johnston brothers’ work is celebrated for combining aesthetic clarity with scientific accuracy, and this map exemplifies that standard. With clean copperplate engraving and original hand-coloring to distinguish borders and regions, it would have been an indispensable reference for educational institutions, libraries, and informed households of the Victorian period. This piece is especially attractive to collectors interested in Denmark, Northern Germany, or 19th-century British atlas cartography. Condition report: Good condition overall with general age-related toning. Central horizontal fold line as issued, has split along fold. No significant tears or staining. Blank verso. Framing tips: A classic maple or walnut frame with a light ivory or grey mat works well to complement the subdued pastel tones. Consider UV-protective glass to maintain the color quality over time.
