* Graesse II,324. Bibl. Dan. III,653. An attractive copy of this outstanding atlas of the two duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, the present Danish province of Sønderjylland and the German Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein. The map material includes a map of the old World (Europe, Asia, Africa), a map of Germany and one of Scandinavia. Among the town plans is a magnificent city plan of Hamburg. The maps were engraved by the brothers Matthias and Nicolai Petersen, both of them goldsmiths in the town of Husum, after drawings by the highly talented cartographer Johannes Mejer (1606-74) who was also a citizen of Husum. Mejer got famous for his cartographic genius, and the plates for the Schleswig-Holstein atlas were bought by Willem Blaeu jun. and reused in coloured versions in his Atlas Maior, Amsterdam 1662. The Danckwerth atlas was the only work of Mejer to appear in print the cartographer's lifetime. A monumental atlas of Denmark was never fulfilled due to the disastrous wars between Denmark and Sweden 1657-60.
** The duchy of Schlesvig (Slesvig/Sønderjylland) was a part of Denmark, whereas the duchy of Holsten/Holstein sorted under the the German Empire, with the Kaiser in Vienna as sovereign. From 1460, the duchies were administered as an entity under the Danish king. In the 1650s, the area of Schleswig and Holstein was split (and had been since 1542) into regions either ruled by the Danish king or by his kinsman, the duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. The Danckwerth atlas is a result of a united sponsporship of the Danish king Frederik III and his political counterpart, duke Friedrich III of Holstein-Gottorp. The latter used all his political energy to loosen his dukedom from the Danish realm by nurturing close relations to Sweden. However, both king and duke got their portraits - side by side - on the titlepage of this atlas. Thanks to this coordinated initiative, this great atlas appeared, giving a most detailed and accurate description of the area between the Baltic and the North Sea at a cartographic level far ahead of the time.
*** The maps give an important documentation of the development of the coastline along the North Sea. A flood in 1634 changed it totally, swallowing both islands and towns, but Mejer has been able to produce credible maps of the area both before and after this disaster. The cartouches show all kinds of peasants, fishermen and town people, fullfilling the aspirations of this atlas to give at total description of this part of Europe as it was in the year of 1652. Mejer himself appears - shown at work - on one of the plates.
