EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map of South America, taken from the Gotha Atlas published by Justus Perthes in 1872. Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established his eponymous business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him in 1814 and played a pivotal role in developing the Geographical Branch of the company. Under Wilhelm's guidance, the firm gained recognition for publishing Adolf Stieler's influential Hand-Atlas between 1817 and 1823. Wilhelm Perthes collaborated with esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus, Christian Gottlieb Reichard, Karl Spruler, and Emil von Sydow to further enhance their cartographic offerings. The baton was later passed on to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857), who continued his family's legacy until his untimely demise. In addition to their maps collection, Justus Perthes also ventured into other publications such as the Almanach de Gotha starting from 1863. This annual publication provided statistical data, historical information, and genealogical records of various countries worldwide. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history that not only represents an important milestone for cartography but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Justus Perthes' contributions to geographical knowledge.
