Petermann: Vereinigte Staaten von Nord-Amerika in 6 Blättern, Bl. 6
Nineteenth-century German cartography set the standard for precision, and Gotha was its capital. This 1872 German map of the Southeastern United States comes from the atlas workshop of Justus Perthes, the house that published August Petermann’s geographical work and trained a generation of European mapmakers. Every label, legend line, and heading reads in German, which makes it an unusual look at the American South seen from Thuringia rather than from Washington, just seven years after the Civil War ended.
