This old, full colour and wonderful map shows the Kingdom of Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein (now mostly part of Germany) as it was in 1872. It was engraved by G.H. Swanston and published by A. Fullarton & Co.
Iceland (then part of the kingdom) is also shown on this map, along with Bornholm (an island in the Baltic) and the Faroe Islands (a cluster of islands in the north sea, which is still part of the kingdom). Santa Cruz, part of the Danish West Indies, is also shown inset.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm), and 24x30 inches (61x76cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 60 inches (150cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (50x40cm) version of this map.
Please note, the unframed 24x30 inch map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them, they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
The map includes Denmark, You can also see the Baltic Sea and cities such as Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Fredericksburg, Schleswig and Holstein. The major islands of Zeeland, Lolland and Funen are all labelled too.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from Denmark or who has the North of Germany in their heart.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
