Atlas of Germany, composed of twenty sheets at the scale of 1: 600,000, by Philippe Vandermaelen. Published by Vandermaelen's Geographical Establishment of Brussels. Title page includes Index map "Tableau d'Assemblage", and legend "Signes conventionnels." Lithographed maps hand colored in outline showing roads, railroads and administrative divisions, footprint of principal cities, villages, parishes, postal roads, railways, landmarks, canals, fortifications, forests, lakes, rivers and mountains. Relief shown by hachures. Depth shown by bathymetric contours and soundings. Bound in brown marbled paper-covered boards with title" "Deutsch - Land" embossed in gold on red label, pasted on front cover. Vandermaelen's maps are frequently misunderstood because each map is usually best comprehended in the context of its neighboring maps, thus the maps do not function well on their own, since they were all meant to be joined. Date estimated.
