Antique map of part of the United States showing Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and part of Florida. With inset maps of the southern part of Florida and the southern part of Texas. This map was part of a set of six individual sheets with maps of the United States and North America.
This map originates from Stielers Handatlas, published circa 1879. 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.
