EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Iran Persia Map 1876 Gotha, Justus Perthes, Atlas" from the Liszt Collection. The map was published by Johan Georg Justus Perthes in 1876 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical geography of Iran and its neighboring regions. Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, founded his business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him in 1814 and played a pivotal role in establishing the Geographical Branch of their publishing house. Together with esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, they collaborated on significant projects such as Adolf Stieler's And-Atlas (1817-1823). The Almanach de Gotha, first issued by the firm in 1863, became another notable publication that provided statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. This vintage print not only represents an important piece of cartographic history but also reflects the artistic techniques prevalent during that era.
