Description |
English: This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts the British Isles including England, Scotland and Ireland. In a cartographic flourish unique to Perthes, land profiles of the region are depicts to the left and right of the map proper. 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. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler’s Schul-Atlas. |
