I'm not a map or history person at all, so I'm looking for a little help. I acquired this map. It's framed in cardboard and vacuum sealed in plastic so I can't open it to see if there's anymore information on it. I've learned a few things about it, it's a Danish map of China from possibly the late 1800s. I'm hoping to find out some more information, such as a possible maker or if it's from a collection or something. I will be putting it up for sale. Hopefully to someone who can really appreciate it, so would like to find out a little more information on it and to narrow down a possible price range. Thanks in advance!

I looked up the artist, and may actually check out. Procured from a MA antique store, around 325.

Here is a link a little bio of the amateur cartographer, Daniel Draper, a commoner.

Perhaps I overplayed a bit, but I’ve been looking for something like this with provenance for a while.

I was wondering if this map is an original or not and if someone can help me find out what’s worth. Got at a garage sale

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify an old map and was wondering if anyone here could help. The map shows the area around Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland, but all the labels are written in German.

I’m looking to find out more details about it — such as the name of the map, when it might have been created, or where it comes from (publisher, series, etc.).

If anyone recognizes this type of map or has experience with historical German maps of this region, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance
