Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Minor marginal soiling. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Size 11 x 9.25 Inches. A finely detailed first edition 1794 map of Westphalia by Robert Wilkinson. While the name 'Westphalia' is used for several different overlapping areas in central to western Germany, this map shows the area from the… North Sea and the Netherlands in the upper left, to France in the lower left, and from the Hamburg in the upper right to the Upper Rhine in the lower right. The map outlines the feudal Duchies and Counties of Westphalia as they were before being joined with other Prussian states in 'The Kingdom of Westphalia,' briefly a French vassal state under Napoleon from 1807-1816. The area was made famous in 1648 when the 'Peace of Westphalia' was signed in Münster and Osnabrück, ending the Thirty Years' War. engraved by Thomas Conder for the 1794 first edition of Robert Wilkinson's General Atlas .

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Minor marginal soiling. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Size 8.5 x 10 Inches. A finely detailed first edition 1794 map of Upper Saxony, in what is now Mitteldeutschland, by Robert Wilkinson. In 1180 Duke Henry the Lion fell, and the medieval Duchy of Saxony dissolved. The Saxe-Wittenberg lands… were passed among dynasties who took the tribal name Sachsen (Saxons) upstream as they conquered the lands of the Polabian Slavs further up the elbe. The Polabian Slavs had migrated to this area of Germany in the second half of the first millennium A.D., and had been largely assimilated by the Holy Roman empire by the time this map was made. Today, the German government recognizes some 60,000 'Sorbs,' or descendants of the Polabian Slavs, who have retained their language and culture. The map covers from the Baltic Sea in the north to Bohemia to the south, and from Lower Saxony in the west to Silesia, Poland to the east. engraved by Thomas Conder for the 1794 first edition of Robert Wilkinson's General Atlas .
