About This Item

Gotha: Justus Perthes , 1859. VG, scarce, detailed maps. An odd pairing for a single plate. The are of north central Texas shown details the area of the Brazos and Red Rivers, Witchita Mountains, and has Marcy's route color coded. This top image is not as detailed as the second, showing elaborate coastal detai including the Behring Strait, Cape Hope, and easat to Halkett Island. It comes from Petermann's "Geographische Mitteilungen". Petermann was a major figure in the 19th century explosion of thematic mapping (see Robinson: EARLY THEMATIC MAPPING...). He apprenticed with Steiler and later helped with the maps of Johnston's PHYSICAL ATLAS... (initially issued as a tribute to Berghaus). The full map image (both plates) is 9.5x7.5 inches. .
