Title
Gebirgs Karte von Deutschland.
Description
English: This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts the physical geography of central Europe (or as it is called greater Deutschland) from the Adriatic to the Baltic and as far west as Beligum. Cities are noted, but there are not political distinctions. In a display of cartographic flair unique to Perthes maps, a land elevation profiles decorate the bottom and sides of the map. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax-process engraving. All text in German. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler’s Schul-Atlas.
