EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the "Great Britain Map Scotland 1872 Gotha" takes us back in time to explore the intricate details and historical significance of this region. Published by Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher, this map is part of his famous atlas collection. Justus Perthes, born in Rudolstadt in 1749, founded his business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him later and played a crucial role in establishing the Geographical Branch of the company. Collaborating with esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, they created remarkable works such as Adolf Stieler's And-Atlas (1817-1823). The legacy continued through Wilhelm's son Bernard Wilhelm Perthes. The Almanach de Gotha was another significant publication by this firm, first issued in 1863. This annual compendium provided statistical data, historical insights, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. The Liszt Collection has beautifully preserved this engraved image from history that showcases Victorian illustrative techniques. With its retro-styled vintage appeal, it offers a glimpse into Great Britain's past while highlighting Germany's contribution to cartography during that era.
