English: This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts Denmark, Schleswig, Holstein, Iceland, and the Faeroe Islands. There are inset maps of Ireland and the Faeroe Islands. In a display of cartographic flair unique to Perthes maps, a land elevation profile is depicted on the bottom of the Iceland map. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax-process engraving. Issued in the 1862 edition of Stieler’s Schul-Atlas.
