EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Northern Star SkyGotha" takes us back to the year 1872 and showcases an exquisite atlas created by Justus Perthes. Johan Georg Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, founded his eponymous business in Gotha in 1785. The legacy of this family-run enterprise was further enhanced when Wilhelm Perthes joined his father's side in 1814. Wilhelm played a pivotal role in establishing the Geographical Branch of the company, which became its hallmark. One of their notable publications was the Stieler Atlas (1817-1823), crafted by Adolf Stieler with contributions from esteemed German geographers such as Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler. The photograph also sheds light on the Almanach de Gotha, first issued by Justus Perthes' firm in 1863. This annual publication provided statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. With its retro styling and Victorian charm, this engraved image transports us to a time when maps were meticulously handcrafted works of art. It is a testament to the rich history and illustrative techniques employed by publishers like Justus Perthes. Thanks to Liszt Collection's preservation efforts, we can still marvel at this vintage piece that encapsulates not only geographical knowledge but also cultural heritage. Let it serve as a reminder of how far cartography has come while appreciating the craftsmanship that went into creating these timeless treasures.
