Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Size 12.5 x 9.5 Inches. This is a finely detailed 1793 map of Denmark and Holstein, by Robert Wilkinson. It covers all of Denmark including the Duchy of Holstein. Denmark prospered greatly in the last decades of the 18th century because its neutral status allowed it to trade… with both sides in the many contemporary wars. In the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark originally tried to pursue a policy of neutrality to continue the lucrative trade with both France and Great Britain and joined the League of Armed Neutrality with Russia, Sweden and Prussia. This map was engraved by Thomas Conder and issued as plate no. 5 in the 1792 edition of Robert Wilkinson's General Atlas .
