Dealer Notes
The map illustrates territories involved in the unification of Germany, showing countries of Central Europe, from Schleswig-Holstein in the north to Florence in the south, and from Liège and the Lake of Geneva in the west to Krakow in the east. Prussia features at the top of the map, as does Austria in the centre. The map also shows some of the territories ceded by Austria to the nascent country of Italy and her allies.
