Up for sale is one of
numerous maps that came from F.W. Putzger’s Historical School Atlas of Ancient,
Mediaeval and Modern History, copyright 1903.
This atlas is completely in GERMAN, not English, although the
editors added English translation for each map in a separate section of the
book. Because of that, I’m able to
identify each map accurately in the eBay listing. Most of these maps contain inset maps and/or
maps on the back of the primary map. Also there is a more extensive description
of the content of each map than just the title of the map. It is too long to
include in the eBay listing , so I will
provide a photocopy of the complete translation of these detailed descriptions to
all buyers of these maps in either German or English, or both if you wish. These maps are great teaching tools!
I have removed all of
the maps from the hardbound atlas since the spine was completely torn out, making
it easy to take them out without damaging them. All of the maps are in very good to excellent condition, with great
color and detail. Any defects will be noted below. All of the primary maps measure about 10 x 13”, and have been folded in half. Shipping
to Germany and Austria is about US$4.50, depending on how many maps you might
buy. Please ask for a shipping cost
quote before buying any of these maps if you’re outside of the United States.
The maps are under two general headings in the index: I. For
the History of Antiquity, with maps of places going back to 500 B.C.; and II.
For Mediaeval and Modern History, with maps of places from 476 to the 1800’s. Remember these maps were printed and
copyrighted in the atlas in 1903, not the earlier dates shown on the map.
This rare map in this eBay listing is Rome in the Imperial Period; and Athens, with two inset maps: Rome in Republican Times; and the Acropolis of Athens. Lots of detail on both maps, with a key on the Imperial Rome map, identifying things like the Circus Maximus. On the back are two maps, with more detail: the Republican Forum, and the Imperial Forum, both of which take up a space of about 5 x 8 1/2". This map is in very good to excellent condition.
