Note:
First edition of the Atlas by the famous mathematician Leonhard Euler. The Atlas was published on behalf of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin by Leonhard Euler, designed specifically for the use in schools. The maps were largely based on works of Johann Christoph Rhode and were mostly engraved by Nicolaus Friedrich Sauerbrey. This edition includes a title page, a 10-page preface by Leonhard Euler in Latin and French, 41 double-page engraved maps, plus 4 additional maps. Highlights are 4 maps of the world (one in two sheets) and the 4-sheet map of America. Each map is outline hand colored and has a stamp of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences, most maps include decorative title cartouche, showing political and administrative divisions, cities, villages, place names, rivers, canals and mountains. Relief shown pictorially. Bound in brown leather covers with "Atlas geographicus Berolinensis" in gilt on the spine.
