This large wall-sized map of the German Empire extends from the Baltic Sea to the Gulf of Venice, and from France to Romania. The map focuses on fortified cities, ports, and postal routes and is densely engraved with political boundaries, topography, and hundreds of tiny towns. A large title cartouche fills the North Sea and is adorned with a soldier and the German eagle. This map was printed on two sheets and joined, and then dissected and backed in linen.
