This vintage print showcases the "Map North America Gotha" from Justus Perthes' 1872 Atlas. Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher, established his business in Gotha in 1785 and later expanded it with the help of his son Wilhelm. The Geographical Branch of their enterprise gained fame by publishing Adolf Stieler's And-Atlas between 1817 and 1823. Collaborating with esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Christian Gottlieb Reichard, Wilhelm Perthes solidified the foundation of this branch. The depicted map represents North America during that era, providing historical insights into its geographical features and boundaries. Its intricate engravings reflect the illustrative techniques prevalent during Victorian times.
