Denmark as it was mapped in 1795
D. F. Sotzmann’s Daenemark presents Denmark through the precise lines and restrained colours of late 18th-century cartography. Created in Berlin in 1795, the map records political boundaries, cities, coastlines, islands, waterways and variations in the landscape.
The detailed engraving works beautifully as historical wall art. From a distance, it has the calm structure of a classic Scandinavian map. Viewed more closely, it reveals a dense network of place names, borders and geographical detail.

A clear and carefully engraved school atlas map
Daniel Friedrich Sotzmann was a German cartographer working in Berlin during a period when maps were becoming increasingly systematic and precise. This map was drawn by Sotzmann and engraved by Wilhelm Sander for an educational atlas published in 1795.
The original engraving measures approximately 25 × 29 cm. Relief is represented with hachures, while hand-coloured boundaries help separate the territories shown. Latitude and longitude lines give the composition a measured structure without overwhelming the fine geographical detail.
“Shows political boundaries, cities, topography, vegetation, bodies of water, drainage, coastlines and islands.”
