My mother is from Berlin and it feels very much like a hometown to me, so I have been looking for some kind of vintage Berlin map as wall art to put on a wall...and found this, which is perfect in our bedroom. The detail is very easy to read (if you know German) and I just love staring at it and recognising, at once, streets and places I know....and thinking how much the city has changed, and yet not, since 1857 (the date of this map). Arrived in perfect shape, ready to hang. Absolutely love it!!!
