EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Spain Portugal Map from Gotha, Justus Perthes' 1872 Atlas. Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established his eponymous business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him in 1814 and laid the foundation of the Geographical Branch of the company by publishing Adolf Stieler's and-Atlas (1817-1823). This atlas gained fame through collaborations with esteemed German geographers such as Heinrich Berghaus, Christian Gottlieb Reichard, Karl Spruler, and Emil von Sydow. The map featured here is an engraved image that beautifully captures the historical significance of Spain and Portugal. It is part of a book of maps known for its illustrative technique and Victorian charm. The Liszt Collection has preserved this vintage piece which exudes retro-styled elegance. Gotha itself is located in Thuringia near Erfurt, Germany. Justus Perthes' business flourished over generations until it was passed down to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857). In addition to their cartographic endeavors, the firm also published the Almanach de Gotha starting from 1863—an annual publication providing statistical data, historical information, and genealogical details about various countries worldwide. This print offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to Justus Perthes' legacy as well as his family's dedication to geographical exploration and knowledge dissemination.
