EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Spain Madrid Gotha, Justus Perthes, 1872, Atlas". The atlas was published by Johan Georg Justus Perthes in 1872 and holds immense significance in the world of cartography. Johan Georg Justus Perthes, a German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established his renowned business named after himself in Gotha back in 1785. In 1814, his son Wilhelm joined him and played a crucial role in laying the foundation for the Geographical Branch of their enterprise. One of their notable publications was Adolf Stieler's "Hand-Atlas" (1817-1823), which enlisted contributions from esteemed German geographers like Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler. The legacy continued as Wilhelm passed on the reins to his son Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857). Over time, their firm gained recognition for publishing not only maps but also statistical data through the Almanach de Gotha - an annual compendium encompassing historical and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. This vintage engraving from Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into this rich heritage. Its retro-styled aesthetic adds to its allure while preserving its cultural value. As we admire this image captured with illustrative technique, let us appreciate how it symbolizes centuries of dedication to geographical knowledge and exploration.
