EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Moon Gotha" map from the Justus Perthes Atlas, published in 1872. Justus Perthes was a renowned German publisher, born in Rudolstadt in 1749. In 1785, he established his eponymous business in Gotha, which became widely recognized for its geographical publications. The Geographical Branch of the company gained prominence with the release of Adolf Stieler's and-Atlas (1817-1823), where Wilhelm Perthes collaborated with esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler. The legacy continued as Bernard Wilhelm Perthes took over the business until his untimely passing in 1857. Notably, it was under their leadership that the Almanach de Gotha was first issued in 1863 – an annual publication providing statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. This vintage print is an engraved image showcasing Moon Gotha along with other maps featured within this remarkable atlas. With its retro-styled appeal and illustrative technique, it offers a glimpse into Victorian-era arts and culture. The Liszt Collection has preserved this piece of history for enthusiasts to appreciate Germany's rich cartographic heritage.
