26 Theodore Ettling (c.1823–1893) – Map of Berlin and Environs Showing Major Roads, Parks and Urban Blocks - Germany (1863)

This antique city plan was lithographed by Theodore Ettling and published in 1863 for the Weekly Dispatch Atlas. The map provides a detailed bird's-eye view of the Prussian capital in the mid-19th century, showing the city layout, major streets, railways, waterways, parks (including the Tiergarten), and important public buildings. With a subtle sepia tone, the map is both elegant and informative, capturing Berlin before the transformations of the German unification era. An inset legend helps decode the symbols used to denote boundaries, gates, churches, and other key structures.

Theodore Ettling was a German-born lithographer and engraver active in London. He became well-known for his detailed geographical work, contributing to major British publications and atlases of the time. His work is often praised for technical precision and clarity, making it valuable both as a navigational tool and a collectible object of historical interest.
