Pub Note:

Atlas of Central Europe by Joseph Edmund Woerl in 60 sheets. each 45x52 or smaller, dissected into 6 sections, backed with linen, folded and placed in cardboard case 25x20, with title "Karte von Central-Europa" in gold on spine. Sheet 8 includes Title with text, inset map, and tables of population of provinces, towns and islands. Maps showing roads, railroads, cities, towns, landmarks, canals, fortifications, forests, rivers and mountains. Relief shown by hachures. Depth shown by bathymetric lines and soundings. Planta topografica della città di Roma.Includes a separate index sheet "Assemblage zur Karte von Central - Europe. Masstab 1:500,000. Verlag von Herder in Freiburg I. B." Maps are the earliest of two-color lithography. As late as 1870 this atlas rendered important service to the German army, It is also an outstanding example of early lithographic map printing. Woerl seems to have pioneered a method of using color lithography, he used a red lithographic stone for a second overlay printing and may have used a unique combination of lithography and engraving to produce these maps. Imprint of some maps are in French. Library lacks sheets 26 and 59, but we have added separate copies of sheets 26 and 59 to this group. This edition adds many railroads compared to the first edition of 1838, see our 10094.000
