EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "New Zealand Australia Gotha, Justus Perthes, 1872, Atlas". Published by Johan Georg Justus Perthes in 1872, this atlas is a testament to the rich history of cartography and geographical exploration. Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established his business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him later on and laid the foundation for the Geographical Branch of their enterprise. The collaboration with esteemed German geographers such as Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler elevated their work to new heights. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of art that combines historical significance with illustrative technique. The engraved image captures the essence of Victorian aesthetics while providing valuable insights into New Zealand and Australia's geography during that era. As we delve into this vintage masterpiece, we are transported back to an age where maps were meticulously crafted works of art rather than mere navigational tools.

With its intricate details and cultural significance, this print from the Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into our past—a time when maps were gateways to uncharted territories waiting to be discovered.
