The map is a vectorised version of this map from Professor G. Droysens Allgemeiner Historischer Handatlas, which was published in 1886 by R[ichard] Andree.
I will at some point create an English version.
Changes from source image:
- The small map in the top left corner (Die Welfenlande z. Zeit Heinrich d. Löwen – "Welf lands at the time of Henry the Lion") has not been included.
- The legend in the bottom left corner has not been included since it is redundant with this description and/or image captions.
- As such, both England and North Africa have been expanded into the areas which the map and legend cover.
- The Balearic Islands were added; for some reason, Droysen's map omitted them.
- Names of rivers have not (yet?) been included.
- Locations of cities, fortresses etc have not been included.
- Cöln has been changed to its modern spelling of Köln.
- Some notes on territory changes have been added (Corfu, La Bresse),
