EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "India Map Gotha" from Justus Perthes' 1876 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 for the Geographical Branch of their enterprise by publishing Adolf Stieler's influential and-Atlas (1817-1823). Collaborating with eminent German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, Wilhelm Perthes solidified their reputation as pioneers in cartography. The firm was later passed down to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857), who continued its legacy until it issued the Almanach de Gotha in 1863. This annual publication provided statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. The India Map Gotha depicts major cities such as Madras, Calcutta, and Bombay during this era. The intricate engravement technique used to create this vintage piece adds an artistic touch that reflects Victorian aesthetics. As part of Liszt Collection's extensive archive of historical images, this print offers a glimpse into Germany's rich cultural heritage while highlighting Justus Perthes' significant contributions to cartography.
