Pub Note:
In German. Five sheet black and white atlas intended to accompany the text volume, "Lehrgebäude der Geographie: mit naturhistorischen, statistischen und geschichtlichen Andeutungen und einem Chartenatlasse zum öffentlichen und häuslichen Unterricht in dieser Wirtschaft." The atlas maps were intended to provide a template for polytechnic university students to graphically depict, analyze and remember data and information regarding a wide variety of natural science disciplines, including topography climate, geology, botany and zoology, amongst others. The maps are intentionally skeletal in nature, with the intent that the students were to supplement the map with details in their own hand from information in the text volume. This atlas was a part of the early 19th Century polytechnic movement, which played a major role in Germany's rise to the forefront of science and industry later in the century. Schlieben believed that by students gaining a comprehensive geographical understanding of the Earth's natural attributes, they would be able to comprehend the world's potential for agriculture, industrial development, infrastructural engineering and global trade. Schlieben's approach seemed to be too challenging for most students but did serve many of the more gifted individuals. Relief shown in sketches. Each map sliced into multiple panels and mounted with linen strips for folding.
