Historic Map : Lowenberg Whimsical Map of Denmark, 1846, Vintage Wall Art

A delightfully whimsical 1846 map of Denmark, from a German kinderatlas or children's atlas. The map details all of Denmark with its various duchies divided with color coding. The whole is surrounded by a wide border featuring charming vignettes meant to illustrate the peoples and cultures of the region. The upper left corner features a sub-sketch of Iceland. Other illustrations include a ship at sea, a man standing near a lighthouse, an artesian spring, etc. The map is accompanied by its adjacent page, which includes a poetic history of the Kingdom of Denmark in German gothic type. The wonderful and rare map was drawn by Anst. V A. Boeden of Berlin for inclusion as plate no. in x in the 1846 issue of Julius Loewenberg's Geographische Landerfibel.
