Description: 1846 Perthes Physical Map of Germany WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Fluss-u. Berg-Karte von Deutschland und der anlieg. Landern. Description: This is a fascinating example of the 1850 Justus Perthes physical map of Germany and its neighboring countries. It covers from Denmark to the northern part of Italy and includes the modern day countries of Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia and parts of France, Poland and Italy. Map is highly detailed with both political and physical data. Various mountains, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details are noted. Cities are identified via letter codes and a table at the base of the map. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of their 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. All text is in German. Issued as plate no. 18 in the 1854 edition of Stieler's Hand-Atlas. Size: Printed area measures 13 inches high by 15.5 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Some wear on original centerfold. Original platemark visible. Blank on verso. Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
