Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Atlas von Asien.
English: Atlas of Asia. Of the original 18 maps announced (number 19 should be 18) only 15 were ever published and these three were never completed: No. 1 - Generalkarte von Asia, No. 3 - Das Westliche Hochasia, No. 4 - Die Halbinsel von Kleinasia [Turkey]. While financially the atlas was a failure, the cartography was outstanding and made Justus Perthes world famous instantly. These are the largest and best German maps of that era and area - published by Justus Perthes in Gotha.
