Description
Index sheet of this important multi-sheet map of Prussia, Lithuania, and Poland.
Section XXIV of the rare first edition of this important 25-sheet map prepared by Friedrich Leopold von Schrötter. Heinrich Kliewer engraved this map sheet.
In 1796 under the leadership of Friedrich Leopold von Schröter (1743-1815) a mapping of East Prussia in scale 1:50000 was started. The work completed in 1802, set of maps "Karte von den Provinzen Litthauen, Ost und West Preussen u.d. Netz Distrikte auf befehl Ihrer Majestäten des Königs Friedrich Wilhelm II und Friedrich Wilhelm III auf Antrag des Staats Ministers und Departements Chefs Freiherrn von Schrötter in den Jahren 1796 bis 1802 vermessen und topographisch aufgenommen von Friedrich Bernhard Engelhardt Königlichem Kriegs und Domainen Rathe und Ban Director in Neu-Ost-Preussen" was created.
Based on this mapping, in 1802, a set of maps Karte von Alt-Preussen enthaltend Ost-Preusen nebst Preussisch Lithauen. .. was issued.
The title of the map ws however quickly changed to Karte von Ost-Preussen nebst Preussisch Litthauen und West - Preussen nebst dem Netzdistrict and the title of the King was also changed in the second state.
Several engravers worked on the different sheets: Carl Jäck (I-III, V-VII, X-XII, XV, XVI, XVIIII, XXII, 1802-1806), Carl Mare (XIII-XV, XVII, XIX, XXII, XXV, 1806-1810), Heinrich Kliewer (IV, XXIV, 1803), Franz (XX, XXI), Paulus Schmidt (VIII, XXIII, town plans)
The map, in turn, was a reduction of a 145-sheet manuscript map in scale 1:50,000 made by F. L. Schrötter.

We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
