EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed map of Great Britain from 1875, taken from the renowned Gotha Atlas published by Justus Perthes. The German publisher, Johan Georg Justus Perthes, founded his business in Gotha in 1785 and was later joined by his son Wilhelm in 1814. It was Wilhelm who established the Geographical Branch of the company and collaborated with esteemed German geographers such as Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler. The map itself is an exquisite example of illustrative technique through engravement, capturing the intricate details of Great Britain's geography during that era. With its retro-styled design and vintage appeal, this print transports us back to Victorian times when maps were not only functional but also works of art. Located in Thuringia's historic town of Gotha, Germany, Justus Perthes' publishing house became famous for its cartographic publications. In addition to their atlases and maps like this one depicting Great Britain, they also released the Almanach de Gotha - a comprehensive annual publication featuring statistical data, historical information, and genealogy about various countries worldwide. This print from the Liszt Collection offers a glimpse into history through an engraved image that beautifully captures both artistic expression and geographical accuracy. Its timeless charm makes it a perfect addition to any collection or decor inspired by arts, culture, or nostalgia for days gone by.
