Antique map titled 'Verein-Staaten von Nord-America mit Ausnahme Florida's und der Westlichen Territorien'. This map extends as far west as Louisiana and only includes the northern portion of Florida. Inset map of the "southern principal part of Texas." Shows states, major cities, railroads, topography, bodies of water, as well as political divisions at that time. Text in German with some English place names.
This map originates from Stielers Handatlas, published circa 1865. Stielers Handatlas (after Adolf Stieler, 1775–1836), formally titled Hand-Atlas über alle Theile der Erde und über das Weltgebäude (Handy atlas of all parts of the world and of the universe), was the leading German world atlas of the last three decades of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. Published by Justus Perthes of Gotha (established 1785 and still existing there) it went through ten editions from 1816 to 1945. As with many 19th century publications, an edition was issued in parts; for example, the eighth edition was issued in 32 monthly parts.
