Bound into half leather brown covered boards with title “Sohr-Berghaus Hand atlas der neuen Erdbeschreibung in 100 blattern.” stamped on the front cover in gold. The name of Sohr is a pseudonym, probably of the editor of the atlas, F. (Friedrich) Handtke. The famous geographer Heinrich Berghaus had made a minor contribution to the atlas back in 1847. Carl Flemming, publisher of the atlas, used this to mention Berghaus' name prominently on the atlas title page. Berghaus protested against this abuse of his name, but the atlas has kept its name of Sohr-Berghaus ever since.
