Geologie, Geschichte und Physical Geographie in Bildern

1850
Wilhelm Nitzschke

Full title

Extremely rare set of educational lithography diagrams was based on the English 'Diagrams of Geology, History and Physical Geography', published by James Reynolds in mid 19th century (around 1846-1850) in the UK. These german version of these plates were published by Wilhelm Nitzschke in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany.

The geographical plate number one (Moving image of the earth) has a special feature - both hemispheres are cutouts attached to the plate with a string in the center, thus able to rotate freely. Other plates cover topics like Geology, physical geography, antediluvian history of the Earth, comparative charts of the mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls, human races and the history of the mankind.

The set contains of following plates:

  1. Bewegliches Bild der Erde
  2. Karte zur physikalischen Geographie
  3. Geologische Karte der Welt
  4. Die antediluvianische Welt
  5. Populäre Geologie
  6. Verglieichende Ansicht der vichtigsten Fluesse und Seen
