Article description

Steel Engraving, hand-colored in outline by Meyer, Joseph, published 1846 by Bibliograph. Institut, Hildburghausen. Image size: 372 by 298mm (14 by 11 inches). From Meyer's acclaimed steel-engraved atlas, one of the finest German cartographic productions of the 19th century. Joseph Meyer (1796–1856) was one of the most prolific and influential German publishers of the 19th century. Born in Gotha, he founded the Bibliographisches Institut, which he moved to Hildburghausen in 1828, and built it into a leading European publishing house. Meyer produced numerous finely engraved atlases, including the celebrated Meyer's Groẞer Hand-Atlas (1843–1860), engraved with exceptional precision on steel plates by his talented team of cartographers including Carl Radefeld. His maps of North American states from the 1840s and 1850s are based on the best available American sources of the period, including Tanner's surveys, and offer a detailed German perspective on the rapidly expanding United States. Meyer's steel engravings, often hand-colored in outline, are treasured by collectors for their technical perfection and historical accuracy.
