A.C. Gaspari. Neuer methodischer Schul-Atlas, entworfen von Franz Ludwig Gussefeld. Erster Cursus. Weimar: Im Verlage des Industrie Comptoirs, 1799. (New methodological School Atlas, designed by Franz Ludwig Gussefeld. First Cursus. Weimar: The publishers of industry Comptoirs, 1799.)
Pub Note:
Two largely complimentary volumes bound together and dated 1799 and 1801 respectively. Some maps have scales. Hand colored in outline with little terrestrial information other than relief in hachures, basic hydrography, and product symbols, (see page I for legend). Both volumes were accompanied by text books by Gaspari that were more statistical works than geographies (Espenhorst). Both the atlases and the texts are some of the earliest works published by Gaspari and the publisher, Industrie Comptoirs eventually became the Weimar Geographisches Institut. Several pages stamped, John Cooper Jr., presumably an owner.
