About This Item

Gotha: Justus Perthes, 1850. VG+, engraved, hand-colored outlines. Map of European rainfall distribution. Quite elaborate for such a small map. Scarce offering from Berghaus' PHYSIKALISCHER SCHUL-ATLAS... (1850 edition, issued shortly after the second volume of the larger Physikalischer Atlas appeared in 1848). Berghaus was a major force in thematic maps, and these atlases had their orgins in the works of von Humboldt (see Robinson's "Early Thematic Mapping in the History of Cartography". This is plate 5 from that atlas, measuring 7.5x9 inches (19x23 cm)..
