An original antique, copper-engraved map of Germany and the German Kingdoms, published in c.1880 in Adolf Stieler’s  ‘Hand Atlas uber alle Theile der Erde und uber das Weldgebaude ’ by the Justus Perthes publishing house in Gotha. This 6th edition which was printed from 1875-1881 is generally regarded as the edition in which the work reached the high scientific level and the unsurpassed relief Stieler's Atlas is famous for.

The map is titled ‘Deutschland Ubersicht des Deutschen Reichs' and provides a detailed view of the region with the states listed in the bottom left corner (notes in German). It is nicely hand coloured with the printed area measuring approximately 405mm x 330mm with good sized margins beyond, blank verso. There is a centrefold as published.

Condition report: Excellent condition, good quality paper, light age toning as is appropriate to a map of this age; one or two small faint age spots / handling marks to the margins. Please study the photographs carefully.
