Description |
English: This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts the world in two hemispheres with a special area dedicated to Australia and New Zealand. For smaller maps depict the north and south polar regions. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax-process engraving. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler’s Schul-Atlas. |
