EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "World Map Gotha" from Justus Perthes' 1872 Atlas. Johan Georg Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established the esteemed business bearing his name in Gotha in 1785. In 1814, his son Wilhelm joined him and laid the foundation for the Geographical Branch of their enterprise by publishing Adolf Stieler's influential and-Atlas (1817-1823). Collaborating with eminent German geographers of their time such as Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, Wilhelm Perthes solidified their reputation. The business was then passed down to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857), who continued its legacy until it reached new heights under his stewardship. Notably, in 1863, they released the Almanach de Gotha—an annual publication featuring statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide—in French. This vintage image captures not only a piece of history but also exemplifies illustrative techniques prevalent during that era. The engraved image showcases intricate details and evokes a sense of nostalgia with its retro-styled aesthetic. It serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and cultural significance. Displayed here is an artifact from Liszt Collection's vast archives—a treasure trove preserving valuable glimpses into our past. This particular photograph print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate cartographic excellence while immersing themselves in the rich heritage of Gotha, Thuringia—Germany's historic city known for its contributions to arts and culture throughout centuries gone by.
