Antique Map of Berlin (1739) — Johann Friedrich Walter

An exceptional engraved and hand-colored plan of Berlin, published in 1739 by Johann Friedrich Walter, depicting the royal Prussian capital during the reign of Frederick William I, just before the rise of Frederick the Great.

This work presents the city’s fortifications, canals, gardens, and major buildings in precise geometric order, surrounded by a list of key landmarks and public institutions.

Below the plan lies a striking panoramic view of Berlin, labeled “View of the City of Berlin as Seen from the North-West”. It captures the city’s skyline from the riverfront, complete with ships, bridges, and church spires, providing a vivid glimpse of Prussian urban grandeur in the 18th century.

Printed in 1739 and carefully color-restored, Walter’s Berlin stands as one of the most beautiful and detailed early depictions of the capital, balancing architectural precision with the artistic flourish of the Baroque cartographic tradition.

A timeless historical artifact, ideal for collectors of German cartography, city-view enthusiasts, or admirers of Enlightenment-era design.
