Historic Map : Meyer Map of The Province of JulichClevesBerg, Rhine Province, Germany, 1849, Vintage Wall Art

This is a fine 1853 map of the Province of Julich-Cleves-Berg by Joseph Meyer. It covers the former province of the Kingdom of Prussia from Kleve to Koblenz and from Munster to Aachen. Five insets detailing the cities and vicinities of Bonne, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Wuppertal. Throughout the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details.

The Province of Julich-Cleves-Bern was established as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia following the Napoleonic Wars by the Congress of Vienna, by merging the old duchy of Julich, the County of Berg and the Duchy of Cleves. The region along with the Lower Rhine Province would later become part of the Rhine Province.

This map was issued as plate no. 48 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.
