Description

Description: Antique map Asia titled ‘Asia‘. Scarce and charming little mid-19th century antique map of Asia. Noteworthy for the early date and scarcity factor, from a small pocket-sized school atlas which had a relatively small circulation and thus maps from it are only infrequently encountered today. Issued 1837, Gotha Germany by Perthes for Ad. Stieler.

Artists and Engravers: Adolf Stieler (26 February 1775 – 13 March 1836) was a German cartographer and lawyer who worked most of his life in the Justus Perthes Geographical Institute in Gotha. Although he studied law and would serve in government for his entire career, he maintained an interest in cartography and published many famous works. His Handatlas was the leading German world atlas until the middle of the 20th century.
