Article description

Original antique steel engraving, hand coloured in outline, showing Frankreich und Umgebungen von Paris. Published by J. Perthes, Gotha, 1838. Sheet: 306 by 357mm (12 by 14 inches).. A fine decorative example of antique cartography by F. Stülpnagel, rich in period detail and historical significance. Friedrich von Stülpnagel (1786–1865) was a Prussian military cartographer and the foremost map author of the Justus Perthes publishing house in Gotha — one of the most respected geographical publishers of the nineteenth century. His maps for Stieler's Handatlas set the standard for scientific cartography of the era, noted for their accuracy, clarity, and elegant steel engraving. Perthes/Stieler maps remain highly regarded by collectors for their quality and the prestigious Gotha imprint. This original antique copper engraving depicts Frankreich und Umgebungen von Paris with characteristic nineteenth century cartographic detail — showing towns, rivers, mountain ranges, and administrative boundaries engraved with the precision and artistry of the period. Published by J. Perthes in Gotha, 1838. Dimensions: 306 by 357mm (12 by 14 inches).. In good condition consistent with age (published 1838). Colours well preserved. Some light age-toning to the sheet, as expected for an antique engraving of this period. No tears or significant foxing. A condition report is available on request.
