The Lower Rhine Province was established in 1815 as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and later became part of the Rhine Province.

This map was issued as plate no. 59 in Meyer's Zeitung Atlas. Although all the maps in this atlas are not individually dated, the title page and maps were often updated while the imprint with the date was not, causing confusion to the exact date for some of the maps. Moreover some maps in the atlas were taped in at a later date as an update to the atlas. We have dated the maps in this collection to the best of our ability.
