KW392529 Map of Europe after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, from A Short History of the English People by J. R. Green, published 1893 (colour litho) by English School, (19th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Treaties of Tilsit were two agreements signed by Napoleon I of France in the town of Tilsit in July, 1807 in the aftermath of his victory at Friedland. The first was signed on 7 July, between Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon. The second was signed with Prussia on 9 July. The treaties ended the War of the Fourth Coalition at the expense of the Prussian king, who had already agreed to a truce on 25 June after the Grande Armee had pursued him to the easternmost frontier of his realm, and in Tilsit ceded about half of his pre-war territories. From those territories, Napoleon had created French client states: the Kingdom of Westphalia, the Duchy of Warsaw and the Free City of Danzig; the other ceded territories were awarded to further French clients and to Russia.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and detailed "Map of Europe after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807". Published in 1893 as part of J. R. Green's "A Short History of the English People" this color lithograph provides a visual representation of the geopolitical changes that occurred following Napoleon I's victory at Friedland. The Treaties of Tilsit, signed by Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I on July 7,1807, marked a significant turning point in European history. This agreement effectively ended the War of the Fourth Coalition and reshaped the continent's political landscape. The Prussian king, who had already agreed to a truce prior to these treaties, was forced to cede about half of his pre-war territories. Napoleon utilized these acquired lands to establish French client states such as the Kingdom of Westphalia, Duchy of Warsaw, and Free City of Danzig. Additionally, other ceded territories were distributed among further French clients and Russia. The map itself is intricately designed with precise borders delineating each nation-state affected by this historic event. Its vivid colors bring life to an era defined by shifting alliances and power struggles across Europe. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical significance—a testament to how peace treaties can shape nations for generations to come.
