Description:
The attractive and detailed pocket atlas of T. Lotter and T. Lobeck with 37 maps, first published in 1747 with an accompanying almanac. This atlas was re-issued for many years, with the maps reprinted and with new maps added, but the title-page continued to report 29 maps as here. Beautiful binding in contemporary red full leather, large floral impressions on the sides and center of the cover.
A title page in an architectural cartouche, both drawn by Gottfried Eichler, the plates engraved by Tobias Lobeck based on drawings by Lotter.
This “pocket” version of Lotter’s atlas was used by travelers and students for whom the folio would be inconvenient or expensive.
