Summary
[edit]Description1788 William Faden Post Roads of German Empire.jpg |
English: William Faden detailed 1788 map of central Europe, from the eastern border of France to Poland and the northern reaches of Turkey. Loosely focused on the organized states of the German Empire, then in its ascendancy and led by the powerful military of Prussia.
Each state and its border is hand colored, and the pale orange of the Kingdom of Prussia can be seen expanding in the northeast at the expense of Poland. (Shortly after publication, a second partition would take place and even more territory would be annexed.) The map also identifies the main post roads that serve the region, critical for the transportation of goods, troops, and information. Topography is depicted pictorially, and many natural features are individually labeled. Size: Width (in): 31.5 - Height (in): 26 |
Date | Published in London by William Faden, Geographer to the King George III, in 1788 |
