Pub Note:
Atlas of Central Europe by Joseph Edmund Woerl in 60 sheets. each 45x52 or smaller, bound in book form (see our 1850 copy with railroads added and dissected on linen with case). The general title sheet includes text, inset map, and tables of population of provinces, towns and islands. There is a second title sheet for the maps of France. Maps showing roads, railroads, cities, towns, landmarks, canals, fortifications, forests, rivers and mountains. Relief shown by hachures. Depth shown by bathymetric lines and soundings. At a scale of 1:500,000, these maps by Woerl are some of the most detailed map series at the time for Europe. Includes inset maps: Environs de Paris -- Plan de Strasbourg -- Plan de Lyon -- Plan de Bordeaux -- Plan de Rouen -- [Bruxelles-Louvain-Nivelles] -- Plan de Nantes -- Plan d'Orléans -- Contorni di Milano -- Planta di Firenze -- Planta topografica della città di Roma. Includes a separate index sheet "Assemblage zur Karte von Central - Europe. Masstab 1:500,000. Verlag von Herder in Freiburg I. B." Maps are among the earliest to use two-color lithography. As late as 1870 this atlas rendered important service to the German army. It is also an outstanding example of early lithographic map printing. Woerl seems to have pioneered a method of using color lithography, he used a red lithographic stone for a second overlay printing and may have used a unique combination of lithography and engraving to produce these maps. Imprint of some maps are in French. Woerl intended to expand his Central Europe series to all of Europe in 220 sheets, also with Weiss, but we have not seen any completed examples yet, only a prospectus.
