Description

Fine large format map of the German empire, focused on German Trade and Industry.

The title of the map translates:

Big Contor and Bureau map of the German Empire. With particular regard to German trade and German industry, German brands and products of Germany, and German post offices

The map shows the sphere of German trade influence between Copenhagen, Memel, Gumbinnen, Krakow, Odenburg, Zurich, Luxembourg and Groningen (Helgoland not yet identified as German). The first edition of this map was published in 1880.

Adolf Henze (1814-1883) was an important printing innovator, best known for Chirogrammatomantie. He published a number of numismatic, economic and scientific works as well as a huge terrestrial globe. Beginning in 1865, Henze published the magazine "Illustrated Scoreboard for Contor and Bureau". Between 1885 and 1890 the magazine included at irregular intervals the segments for a 106 cm large impressive German terrestrial globe. The completed strips could, if sent to the publisher, for a fee, be mounted onto a sphere or supplied with a pneumatic kit to enable home assembly by inflation.

Condition Description
16 sheets, unjoined. With original slip case.
