This complete German world atlas contains 83 double-page maps and an engraved title page (for a total of 84 sheets).  The maps are presented with typical German craftsmanship and great attention to detail.  Many of the maps include insets.   The maps are pasted onto a backstrap, as with older atlases, so the double-page sheets are continuous.  A few of the maps are colored lithographs.  Complete with title page, list of maps and a 10-page report at the end.  Folio, hardbound in original pebble cloth covered boards with quarter leather spine and tips.  Gilt titles on front cover and on embossed spine.

Maps are generally in very good condition with a few damp stains in the blank margins, isolated foxing and a few faint spots.  A few of the regional maps have slightly more widespread foxing in the image but still good.  Covers are lightly stained and warped, and the edges are bumped.
