This print titled "Southern Star Sky Gotha, Justus Perthes, 1872, Atlas" takes us back in time to the rich history of cartography. The image showcases a beautifully engraved map from an atlas published by Johan Georg Justus Perthes in 1872. Johan Georg Justus Perthes was a renowned German publisher who founded his business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him later and laid the foundation for their famous Geographical Branch by publishing Adolf Stieler's and-Atlas between 1817 and 1823. This collaboration with esteemed German geographers solidified their reputation as leaders in the field. The intricate engravement technique used to create this map is truly remarkable, showcasing the artistic talent of that era. Its retro-styled appearance adds a touch of nostalgia and transports us to a different time. Located in Thuringia, Germany, Gotha holds significance as the birthplace of Justus Perthes and his publishing empire.
