***************************

This map shows The Battle of Hanau on 30th October 1813. Depicted are the positions of the the French and the Bavarians & Austrians; their cavalry, infantry and artillery; coloured  blue and yellow, according to nationality. The hand colouring is original , that is to say it dates to the publication of the atlas in 1875.
The sheet measures 11 X 8.75 inches, the actual map from its borders measures approx. 6 X 8 inches. The map is by W. & A.K. Johnston, Edin. and the scale is about 4 inches to the mile.The map is in very good condition, and the sheet is very clean with perhaps the just the odd spot here or there.
