Greve, Wilhelm (sold)
Wilhelm Greve (? - 1883) was a German lithographer and publisher of maps and books, perhaps the father of a lithographer of the same name who was born in 1878 and died in 1932. Not much information is available about either man. A 'Geographisches Institut Wilhelm Greve' was established in Berlin in the early 1870s. The abbreviation 'Königl.' that often followed their name suggests that they published for the royal family (Hohenzollern). They continued to publish maps until the late 1920s.

A scarce and highly detailed 1878 topographical map by Heinrich Kiepert of a portion of eastern Afghanistan and surroundings, highlighting the lands between Kabul and Peshawar. It was made as tensions between Britain and Afghanistan peaked, a side effect of the 'Great Game' competition between Britain and Russia, which led to the Second Anglo-Afghan War. (more details)
