EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Asia Map Gotha" from Justus Perthes' 1872 Atlas. Johan Georg Justus Perthes, a renowned German publisher born in Rudolstadt in 1749, established his eponymous business in Gotha in 1785. His son Wilhelm joined him in 1814 and laid the foundation for the Geographical Branch of the company by publishing Adolf Stieler's and-Atlas (1817-1823). Collaborating with esteemed German geographers of their time, such as Heinrich Berghaus and Karl Spruler, Wilhelm ensured that Justus Perthes became synonymous with high-quality geographical publications. The firm was later passed down to Bernard Wilhelm Perthes (1821-1857), who continued its legacy until it issued its first Almanach de Gotha in 1863. This annual publication provided statistical, historical, and genealogical information about various countries worldwide. The image itself is an engraved representation of Asia from this remarkable atlas. With its retro-styled Victorian charm and illustrative technique, it offers a glimpse into history while showcasing Perthes' dedication to cartography excellence. The Liszt Collection has preserved this vintage gem for enthusiasts of arts, culture, and geography alike.
