Description: 1864 Johnson Map of Western Germany (Bohemia, Westphalia, Luxemburg) WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Johnson's Germany, No. 2. Johnson's Germany, No. 3. Description: This is a beautiful example of the western sheets from Johnson and Ward's 1864 Germany series. The map is divided into two separate maps within the same border. The upper map depicts the states of Westphalia, Clevesberg (Rhein Provinces), Hessen Cassel Darmstadt, Brunswick, Schwarzburg, Frankfurt, Waldeck, Reuss, Saxen Coburg Gotha Meiningen, Saxen Altenburg, Weimar and Luxemburg. The lower map focuses on Bavaria, Wurtenburg, Baden, Frankfurt and Hessen Homburg. Depicting the large and award range of the German Confederation has always been a challenge for Johnson. This is one of Johnson's earliest attempts, dividing the region into four separate maps, Germany 1, 2, and 3, and a separate Prussia sheet. Various towns, cities, railways, rivers and several other topographical features are noted with relief shown by hachure. It features the fretwork style border common to Johnson's atlas work from 1863 to 1869. Steel plate engraving prepared by A. J. Johnson for publication as plate nos. 85 and 86 in the 1864 edition of his New Illustrated Atlas. This is the first edition of the Johnson's Atlas to bear the Johnson & Ward imprint and the only edition to identify the firm as the 'Successors to Johnson and Browning (Successors to J. H. Colton and Company).' Size: Printed area measures 17 inches high by 25 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Text on verso. Minor wear along original centerfold. Verso repair near top border.
