Title
Johnson's Germany No.2. - Johnson's Germany No. 3.
Description
English: This is A. J. Johnson and Ward’s 1862 map of western Germany. Divided into two separate maps. 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 region 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. Features the strapwork border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Steel plate engraving prepared by A. J. Johnson for publication as page nos.
