EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Polar Map Gotha" from Justus Perthes' 1872 Atlas. Johan Georg Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established the esteemed business bearing his name in Gotha in 1785. In 1814, his son Wilhelm joined him and laid the foundation of the Geographical Branch of their enterprise by publishing Adolf Stieler's remarkable And-Atlas (1817-1823). Collaborating with eminent German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, Wilhelm Perthes ensured their maps gained widespread recognition. The baton was then passed to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857), who continued to uphold the family legacy until his untimely passing. Notably, it was under this firm's guidance that the Almanach de Gotha was first published in 1863—a comprehensive annual publication providing statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. This vintage engraving depicts a polar map meticulously crafted by Justus Perthes' skilled artisans. The intricate details and illustrative techniques employed showcase Victorian-era artistry at its finest. This image is part of Liszt Collection's vast archive—an invaluable resource for history enthusiasts seeking glimpses into Germany's rich cultural heritage.
