Map of the beetroot sugar industry in Europe. The map spans the area from France to Russia, with a small inset map of Ireland. Around the map are charts with statistics for the various countries involved in the beetroot industry.
Outline coloured engraving on wove paper, sheet size 516 x 718 mm., the map was published in Berlin by F.A. Herbig, 1853. Besides Berlin, it was distributed by F. Sinnett (Paris) and James Wyld (London). It was printed by Eduard Haenel's Buchdruckerei, Berlin.
In fair condition. Numerous small tears and creases in the margins (all closed and reinforced with acid-free archival tape). Discolouration in the edges and a few spots of paper loss in the left margin, as well as the top right margin corner. The map area itself is clean and fresh.
