Pub Note:
This edition of the Geographisches Institute atlas marks an important move away from the 18th century mode of mapmaking towards a style that reflects what we think of today as 19th century German mapmaking - the use of hachures instead of mountains drawn in profile, and a more uniform typography. Date based on newest maps in atlas. Relief shown in hachures.
