Pub Note:
|
1859 fifth edition printing of new and improved edition of world atlas, edited by K. Sohr and F. Handtke; augmented and improved by Heinrich Berghaus, published by C. Fleming in Glogau. Complete with 160 lithographic maps, including 114 and 16 supplemental sheets, dated 1841-1859, as well as duplicate map sheets from the fourth edition. Colored mostly in outline. Includes US map, Western US regional maps, large-scale map of Texas. The maps show the characteristic German dense detail, but here presented using lithography and in an unfolded and unbound portfolio format for easy use of study. The atlas includes a single sheet map of the United States and, on a larger scale, a four sheet map of the country (the southeast quadrant has a keyed list of the states added to the margin in pencil). There are two excellent additional regional American maps, one of the western-most part, from the Rockies to the Pacific, and a large-scale map of Texas, the last issued due to the intense German interest in the state, where many countrymen had emigrated in the preceding decades. Oblong folio half leather binding with embossed title in gilt. Berghaus was a geographer, cartographer, author, teacher and pioneer in the field of thematic cartography. He produced the first comprehensive thematic atlas of the world., the Physikalischer Atlas.
