(with) Supplementband, 32 Blattern.
List No

Note
This is the most scarce of the mid 19th century German atlases, at least in the United States collections or trade. Espenhorst devotes an entire section of his book to the "Atlasfamilie Sohr-Berghaus" but the LOC has no copies of any issues. Occasionally individual maps show up under the name of Flemming or Berghaus (as in Wheat and Day). One of the most interesting maps in the atlas, found in the 32 map supplement, is a reduced edition of Arrowsmith's Map of Texas of 1841, here probably issued in 1845 or 46, the date the supplement first appeared. Also: Californien, Oregon, Utah und Neu-Mejico; Das Oregon-Gebiet, c. 1846 and based on De Mofras, here tipped in to the atlas; Mexico, Mittel-America, Texas (Wheat 745); Vereinigte Staaten (Wheat 748); Britisches Nord-America (also from Arrowsmith); and a four sheet Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika by F. Handtke (not seen by Wheat). It appears that all the maps were lithographed by Flemming, which was unusual for the period -- most of the other German atlas of that date were engraved. An additional six maps follow the 32 map supplement, of the areas around European Turkey and Hungary. Maps are hand painted with outline color and bound in half leather marbled paper covered boards with an orange paper label reading "Sohr's Hand-Atlas uber alle Theile der Erde." in gold; the new leather spine has "Sohr's Atlas" stamped in gilt.

The first edition by Desilver with a preface by him, and a catalogue of Desilver/Mitchell pocket maps, wall maps, and atlas. Entered in 1855, the catalogue indicates this may have been issued by Desilver as early as late 1854. The text has been substantially altered and the map shows a great number of new proposed railroads compared to the 1854 map in the 1853 guide. Outline color. Covers are black stamped leather with "Mitchell's New Traveler's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat, bridge and train stamped in gilt.
