Pub Note:
Zero or first edition of Stieler Atlas published 1817-1833 in three versions. 1817-23 (version 0.a), 1823-31 (version 0.b), 1831-33 (version 0.c). Publication went through ten editions from 1816 to 1944. This version published in 2 parts then augmented with two further supplementary installments, through 1833. Most maps have the year of first edition. This edition compromises 90 sheets, dated 1816-1835, including composite index map, and extraordinarily detailed maps and supplements. Maps are copper-plate engravings, hand colored in outline, mounted on cloth backing. Bound in marble papered, half leather covers with no title on cover. Inset map on title page: Gotha und Umgebung 1823 ; gest. v. Edler. Gez. v. Bar.
