Historic Map : Meyer Map of The Provice of Brandenburg, Germany, 1849, Vintage Wall Art

This is a fine 1849 example of Joseph Meyer's map of the Province of Brandenburg. It covers from Perleberg, Germany to Sulechow, Poland. Throughout the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details. Seven insets detailing Sulechow (Zullichau), Brandenburg, Cottbus (Kottbus), Potsdam, Neuruppin, Frankfurt, Prenzlau (Prenzlow) and Guben are included.

The Province of Brandenburg was established in 1815 following the Napoleonic Wars as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and later the Free State of Prussia. It would stay a province until 1945, when it would be divided between Germany and Poland.

This map was issued as plate no. 34 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.
