Contact seller4-star sellerBy: SDUKDate: 1837 (circa) LondonDimensions: 13 x 15.5 inches (33.02 x 39.4 cm)This handsome map of Copenhagen was published in 1837 by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, also referred to as SDUK.Denmark is almost completely surrounded by water, and Copenhagen itself, the city of 1837, is also surrounded by water…. The map shows the spectacular aquatic defenses of the city which had developed over the centuries since the time the site had been a point of departure for Vikings. From this point had set sail explorers, colonizers and marauders and later merchants. Moats around the city provide additional defense running between the city's double walls which protect its perimeters. All streets are named and buildings labeled. A large castle is denoted, along with fortifications on islands near the city. A panoramic view of the city is presented just below the plan.The SDUK was founded in 1828 by Henry Peter Brougham, an idealistic British nobleman. The aim of the society was to promote self-education and egalitarian sharing of knowledge by providing instruments of learning such as maps and various other publications. Despite being affiliated with London University and various major publishing houses, the Society ultimately failed to achieve its goal as the publications were too costly for the targeted middle to lower class echelons of British society. At the same time, its publications were not grand or fine enough to appeal to the aristocracy.Condition: This map is in B condition. Two short separations enter the bottom edge of the image. Original hand coloring. Inventory #123441200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622.

It covers all of Denmark inclusive of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Numerous towns, rivers, roads, mountains and other important topographical features are noted throughout. During the time this map… was made, Denmark was on the brink of the First Schleswig War between Prussia, Germany and the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig against the Kingdom of Denmark. In 1848, when the king of Denmark, Frederick VII, proposed that the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein be formally recognized as part of the Danish Kingdom, the predominantly German population of the two duchies rebelled for a free constitution, resulting in war. Denmark ultimately won the war and retained control of Schleswig-Holstein. This map was published in 1845 by Oliver and Boyd as part of Ewing's New General Atlas .

This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts Denmark, Schleswig, Holstein, Iceland, and the Faeroe Islands. There are inset maps of Ireland and the Faeroe Islands. In a display of cartographic flair unique to Perthes maps, a… land elevation profile is depicted on the bottom of the Iceland map. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax-process engraving. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler's Schul-Atlas.

Denmark is covered in full, from the Skagerrak to the Baltic Sea. Holland and Belgium are covered from the North Sea to France. Russia at this time was under the suzerainty of Tzar Alexander the II. Alexander is best known for his liberal reforms including the emancipation Reform of 1861. The Reform, considered the most important event in 19th century Russian history, liberated Russia's countless serfs. In 1830, the Belgian Revolution led to the secession of Belgium from the United Kingdom of Netherlands into the independent Kingdom of Belgium. Though Belgium had successfully made itself independent, the Netherlands refused to recognize the new country until the 1839 Treaty of London. Meanwhile Scandinavia and Denmark at the time were in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and economic boom.

At this time in history, Scandinavia was in the midst of a prolonged period of peace that led to a cultural and population boom, especially in Sweden. The economy however could not keep up with the increase in population and much of Sweden's population immigrated to the United States between 1850 and 1910.

A highly distinctive and colorful 1936 pictorial map of the Nordsjaelland (North Zealand) region of Denmark, north of Copenhagen, issued by the Danske Landmandsbank (Danish Agricultural Bank). A Closer Look Coverage includes the northern part of the island o…f Zealand, from the northern shore of Denmark on the Kattegat, southwards to Roskilde and Dragør, with Copenhagen appearing near the bottom-right. Cities, towns, roads, railways, and other features are illustrated, along with depictions of automobiles, airplanes, beachgoers, amusement parks, and ships. Tourist attractions are also prominently noted, including the imposing Kronborg Castle, opposite the Swedish city of Helsingborg (which also boasts an impressive castle), the two together historically controlling access to the Baltic Sea. The Frederiksborg Castle is also highlighted; it was built in the 17th century for King Christian IV (r. 1588 - 1648) at the height of the power of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway. Publication History and Census This map was created for and published by the Danske Landmandsbank in 1936. It accompanied a similar pictorial map of Copenhagen (cf. KobenhavnsCentrum-landmandsbank-1936), and both were part of a tourist guide published by the bank. We note a single cataloged example at the Copenhagen City Archives, though the OCLC notes several examples that appear to be later editions or reprints.

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor spotting at places. Blank on verso. Size 10.5 x 8.5 Inches. This is affine example of T. G. Bradford's 1835 map of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Lapland. Centered on the Gulf of Bothnia, it covers all of Scandinavia, from Finmark to Denmark. Towns, rivers, mountains, lakes,… and various other important topographical details are noted. Elevation throughout is rendered by hachure and political and regional territories are color coded. The legendary and semi-mythical whirlpool known as the Maelstrom (Mahlstrom) in northwestern Norway is noted. This legendary whirlpool was the inspiration for Edgar Allen Poe's classic tale 'Descent into the Maelstrom.' In reality, it is a periodic and powerful current caused by tidal variations in the region. As this map was being printed, all of Scandinavia was in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and population boom. The map was published as plate no. 96 in Thomas G. Bradford's 1835 Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical and Commercial . Bradford's atlas, published in 1835 was an important work on many levels. First, it was one of the first American atlases to follow an encyclopedic format, offering readers extensive geographical and statistical tables to supplement the maps themselves. Second, it was published in Boston and influenced the city's rise as a publishing center later in the 19th century (at the time most publishing in the United States was restricted to New York and Philadelphia). Third, this atlas was the first to contain a separate and specific map showing the Republic of Texas. Fourth and finally, Bradford's atlas in some instances broke the Euro-centric mold regarding atlas production. Among other things, Bradford focused his atlas on the Americas and abandoned the classical decoration common in European atlases in favor of a more informational and inherently American approach. Bradford published this atlas in several editions and with various partners. The first edition was published by William D. Ticktor and did not contain the iconic Republic of Texas map (although we have in fact seen Ticktor examples with a Texas map, suggesting, against conventional wisdom, that there may have been two Ticktor editions). The second official edition, published in the same year by the American Stationers Company, was the first to contain the Republic of Texas map, which is based on Austin's map, with two pages of descriptive text. A third edition was issued in 1836, also by American Stationers (though still dated 1835), and contained an unaltered Republic of Texas map with only a single page of descriptive test. A fourth edition appeared later, possibly 1837, and included an updated and revised map of Texas that replaces the old Mexican land grants with new inchoate counties. The maps from this atlas are an important addition to any collection focusing on early American cartography and Republic of Texas cartography. All maps in this atlas, though not specifically noted as such, were most likely engraved by G. W. Boynton of Boston, who also engraved most of the maps for Bradford's later publication.
