Engraved outline hand color map. Shows administrative boundaries, cities and towns. Relief shown by hachures. New Meyer's Zeitungs-Atlas. In 31 deliveries, closely corresponds to Meyer's Zeittungs und Groschen Atlas. With a engraved title page, index, and 123 steel engraving outline hand colored maps dated between 1849-1852. Although all the maps in this atlas are not individually dated, the title page and maps were often updated while the imprint with the date was not, causing confusion to the exact date for some of the maps. Atlas includes 123 maps of old geography, maps of modern geography, and maps of physical geography. Bound in marbled paper covered boards. Map numbering skips around from country to country with no obvious logic, and does not correspond with the index listing all the maps. The maps are of the highest Meyer quality, with detail information, showing political and administrative boundaries, cities, towns, canals, forts, roads, railroads, rivers and mountains. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Ferro, Paris or Greenwich. There are six detailed maps of groups of the United States, including an interesting "Californien, Texas und die Territorien New Mexico u. Utah" of 1852 that shows the gold region in California and has a Texas truncated by an enlarged New Mexico. Maps engraved by J. Zipter, F. Sporer, E. Luther, C. Metzeroth, Joh. David, H. Bornmuller, Gustav Metzeroth, C. Ehricht, Adolf Gottschalck, E. Biedermann, W. Feuerstein, R. v. Rothenberg, H. Schleifmann, Schouw, Joakim Frederik and Jean Adam.
