An Original Antique Map: Not a Modern Reproduction See Our Ebay Store for other Antique Maps No Additional Postage on Multiple Maps Shipped with the First Description: It is an original antique map approximately 130 years old with original hand coloring and a centerfold as issued. It is from the 1890 edition of Stieler's Hand Atlas, published in Gotha by Justus Perthes. The map is by the great German cartographer Augustus Petermann (1822-1878), best know for Petermann's geographische Mitteilungen, the leading geographical journal of the day supplying the world with maps and information on newly explored regions around the world including the Arctic and Africa. His maps were certainly among the most accurate and detailed of the period and led the way to a new school of cartography often referred to as the "Gotha School." His maps continued to be used and revised for years after his death in 1878 and his Mitteilungen continued until 2004. After 1865, Petermann was given the responsibility of the cartography for the Stieler Atlas and in coordination with other cartographers in the firm, he guided the production of the atlas until his death overseeing the designs and revisions based on recent discoveries. The publisher and date are shown on the map in the bottom margin and the name of the atlas is in the upper right corner and Petermann's name in the upper left corner. The map is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet with a centerfold as seen in the first pic. Size: The map image measures approximately 13 by 16 inches on a 15 by 18 1/2" page as seen in the pic with a wide margin all around for framing as seen in the main pic. Condition: The map is in Good condition with some darkening along the fold, blank on the reverse, stenciled hand coloring and outlining, printed on heavy paper. It is basically as seen in the pics with a few light spots around the margins, otherwise the map image is very clean and would frame up well. The pics are of the actual map.
