Description: 1749 Vaugondy Map of Lower Saxony, Germany WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Cercle de la Basse Saxe, divisee par ses Principautes. Description: This is a fine 1749 map of Lower Saxony, in what is now Central Germany by Robert de Vaugondy. As shown here, Lower Saxony was bordered by Denmark and the Baltic Sea to the north, Westphalia to the west, Pomerania to the Northeast, and the Circle of Upper Saxony to the south and west. It includes the circle of Lower Saxony and extends from Gottingen north to Stralsund and from Berlin west as far as Oldenburg. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. Lower Saxony was one of the 'imperial circles' created by the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s. These groupings of regional territories were designed for defensive, tax, and administrative purposes within the Empire. During the French Revolutionary Wars, the Hanoverian Duke and British King George III allied with the Prussians against Napoleon, which nonetheless did not prevent the French ruler from briefly invading and occupying the territory. This map was published in the 1748 edition of Vaugondy's Atlas Portratif Universel et Militaire. Size: Printed area measures 7 inches high by 8.5 inches wide. Condition: Very good.

Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
