Description: An original antique, copper-engraved map of France, published in c.1880 in Adolf Stieler’s ‘Hand Atlas uber alle Theile der Erde und uber das Weldgebaude ’ by the Justus Perthes publishing house in Gotha. The 6th edition which was printed from 1875-1881 is generally regarded as the edition in which the work reached the high scientific level and the unsurpassed relief Stieler's Atlas is famous for. The map is titled ‘Frankreich' and it provides a very detailed view of the whole of France with an inset plan of the Paris region and another listing the Departements (notes in German). It is nicely outline hand coloured with the printed area measuring approximately 405mm x 330mm with good sized margins beyond, blank verso. There is a centrefold as published. Condition report: Excellent condition, good quality paper, light age toning as is appropriate to a map of this age. Please study the photographs carefully.
