The "Antique Map of Denmark with Schleswig & Holstein" from 'The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography', published by W. G.

Key Features of the Map: 1. Geographical Coverage: The map encompasses the Kingdom of Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It illustrates the distinct landscapes of these regions, from the Jutland Peninsula to the numerous Danish islands, and the flat plains of Holstein. 2.
