Steel Plates of Rhine Map Those who regularly read their IMCoS Journal will know that I have an interest in Rhine maps and have been collecting panorama views of the river for a number of years. Subsequent to my last article on Rhine panoramas I have come into possession of plates which were engraved for a map of the Rhine. A Cologne map dealer has been very helpful in my search for Rhine panorama maps for a number of years and has also allowed me to record and photograph maps in her collection [i] . Some time ago she telephoned to say she had something that might interest me. When I discovered what she was offering, I simply could not resist! The parcel which finally arrived was of two steel plates which actually presented a map of the Rhine from Strasbourg as far as Rotterdam in the north. As well as the plates there was a printed copy of the map, possibly executed 20 years ago and obviously from the same plates. Fig. 1. Two steel plates to produce an engraved Rhine panoram
