Description: For sale is a traveler's folding book map of West Prussia (Westpreussen) with a close-up view of the city of Danzig and a chart with geographic data. Designed by Friedrich Handtke and published in Glogau by Druck & Verlag/Carl Flemming circa 1849 (piece is undated but 1849 is referenced in the area statistics box so likely produced around this time). Map measures about 21" by 27" when unfolded and is made up of 18 individually cut panels mounted on sturdy cloth. Book measure about 5" by 7.5" when closed, brown cloth boards with some embossing decoration to front and "WESTPREUSSEN" titled in gold. Includes several green pages with listings and prices for other maps available from the firm. Fold-out map has a yellow title page affixed, it reads "Karte der Provinz Westpreussen, entworfen von F. Handtke. Glogau, Druck und Verlag von C. Flemming." Fair to good overall condition as shown - some soiling to cover boards; green advertisement pages have some holes along edges as shown. Map is in good shape - toning and discoloration from age as well as some staining which is more visible to the backside of the piece. Some creases at corners and edges. Cloth is mostly intact and in good structural condition with a few perforations at folded corner points.
