    Detailed topographical map of Berlin published in 1962, very shortly after the construction of the Berlin wall which isolated the west part from the east until 1989, by the Presse- und Informationsamt des Landes.
    The powerful map is interesting also because it is before the construction of the second wall beginning in June 1963, which established the so-called death strip.
    At top large title and the the coat of arms of Berlin west (a black bear on a white shield) introduced in 1954.

  • Fine and detailed map of Cologne and Dusseldorff from the Mercator Hondius “Atlas Minor” published in Amsterdam in 1648 at Jannsonius.

Almost 20 years later Joannes Janssonius commissioned a new set of …

    Grande carta geografica pittorica della Germania concepita in collaborazione da Fritz Hölzel (topografia), Karl-Heinz Schelling (illustrazioni), Manfred Langhans-Ratzeburg e pubblicata a Darmstadt nel 1954 con la direzione di Karl-Otto Gassdorf. La mappa mostra l’intera nazione “dalle Alpi al mare” con centinaia di deliziose vignette a sottolineare gli aspetti storici, architettonici, industriali, produttivi e turistici della Germania. Il sottotitolo fa presente che si tratta della parte prima della mappa poichè seguirà una seconda parte (si noti anche il piccolo richiamo nel margine destro fra le lettere F e G) con la descrizione del territorio lungo il confine con la Polonia, carta che per motivi di opportunità politica non vedrà mai la luce.

    Beautifully engraved map of ancient Germany showing in hight details the northern Europe from the Adriatic to the Baltic and Netherlands.
    Really interesting the latin nomenclature of the cities, town rivers and mountains.
    From the 1624 final edition of Ortelius’s “Parergon in quo Veteris Geographiae aliquot tabulae… – Nomenclator Ptolemaicus” with the text by Balthasar Moretus.
    Ortelius’s Parergon began as a companion to his Theatrum but eventually it became an independent work. In fact, this collection of maps of the ancient world was so significant that it became the model for all historical atlases published throughout the seventeenth century. The maps and plates in the Parergon have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century (Koeman).
