Description: 1852 Meyer Map of the Duchy of Holstein, Germany WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Holstein mit Lauenburg, Hamburg und Lubeck. Description: This is a scarce 1852 map of the Holstein, Germany. It covers from Tonning south as far as Hamburg. Includes the Duchy of Holstein, Lauenburg, Hamburg and Lubeck. This extremely detailed map notes important cities, towns, rivers, roads, coastal features and other important topographical features. Various battlegrounds are also identified. During the time this map was made, the region was in the midst of the First Schleswig War between Prussia, Germany and the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig against the Kingdom of Denmark. In 1848, when the King of Denmark, Frederick VII, proposed that the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein be formally recognized as part of the Danish Kingdom, the predominantly German population of the two duchies rebelled for a free constitution, resulting in war. Denmark ultimately won the war and retained control of Schleswig-Holstein following the London Protocol of 1852. In 1863 Denmark once again tried to integrate the Duchy of Schleswig into the Kingdom of Denmark by passing the November Constitution, leading to the Second War of Schleswig in 1864 between Austria and Prussia on one side and Denmark on the other. In the end Denmark surrendered control over Schleswig, Lauenburg and Holstein to Prussia and Austria. The Second War of Schleswig would eventually culminate into the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 and Prussia would annex both Schleswig and Holstein to create the new province of Schleswig-Holstein. This map was issued 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.
