EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print of the Australia Map from 1876 is a fascinating piece of history. Published by Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher, this map showcases the incredible detail and accuracy that was characteristic of Perthes' work. Justus Perthes, born in Rudolstadt in 1749, founded his business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him in 1814 and played a crucial role in establishing the Geographical Branch of the business. Together, they collaborated with esteemed German geographers to produce notable works like the Stieler's Hand-Atlas. The Almanach de Gotha, first issued by their firm in 1863, further solidified their reputation as publishers of statistical and historical information about various countries worldwide. This engraved image captures not only the technical skill involved but also reflects Victorian-era artistry and illustrative techniques. The retro-styled print evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when maps were meticulously crafted pieces of art. As we admire this historic map from Gotha, Thuringia in Germany, it serves as a reminder of how far cartography has come over time. It allows us to appreciate both the advancements made since then and our interconnectedness with past generations who relied on such maps for exploration and understanding geography.
