This elephant folio dated map by C.G. Riedig appeared in the "Neuer Atlas der ganzen Erde: nach den neuesten Bestimmungen, für Zeitungsleser, Kauf- und Geschäftsleute jeder Art, Gymnasien und Schulen mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die geographischen Werke. In 27 Charten, grösstentheils neu entworfen und gezeichnet von A.H. Köhler, H. Leutemann, K.F. Muhlert, C.G. Riedig, F.W. Streit und gestochen von H. Leutemann, nebst sieben historischen, geographischen und statistischen Tabellen und Uebersichten." by Dr. C.G.D. Stein. Published by J.C. Hinrichsschen Buchhandlung, Leipzig, 1843. Engraved by Leutemann. Dr. Christian Gottfried Daniel Stein (1771-1830) was a German cartographer and publisher, the principal rival to Adolf Stieler, with larger maps and a refined style of engraving work reminiscent of later Homann maps. After his death, the atlas was edited by his collaborators, including Friedrich Wilhelm Streit.

This authentic double-page folio detailed map of the Kingdom of Saxony during the reign of Frederick Augustus II (reigned 1836-54) shows provinces, cities, churches, post offices, forts, roads, postal roads, and railroads. Below given are some interesting details related to the map's content.

• Napoleon conquered Saxony in 1806 and made it a kingdom. It was thereafter one of his most loyal allies, and, after his overthrow, its territory was greatly reduced by the victorious powers at the Congress of Vienna (1814-15). Prussia acquired Wittenberg, Torgau, northern Thuringia, and most of Lusatia, which became the Prussian province of Saxony; the truncated kingdom of Saxony became a member of the German Confederation. As a result of uprisings in 1830, a constitution was granted in the kingdom in 1831.
• The provinces of Saxony are outlined: Dresden (yellow), Leipzig (green), Zwickau (red), Bautzen (purple), and Schönburg (blue)
• The railroad lines: Dresden-Leipzig-Halle, Halle-Altenburg, are marked in blue.
• The map also depicts parts of Bohemia, Silesia, Prussian Saxony, Brandenburg, Bavaria, and the grand duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Altenburg.

The map is 14.8 x 19.5 inches on 16.1 x 19.7 inches sheet. Printed on strong quality paper. Hand colored outline. One centerfold, as issued. The map is in good condition. Imperfections: age toning; minor marginal browning and staining. Will look great with a mat and frame.
