8th (and last complete) edition of Sohr Berghaus Handatlas. Large german Sohr-Berghaus Hand-atlas (dated to 1888-1892), weighing over 6 kg, with exactly 100 wonderfully detailed and coloured litography maps on very thick, cardboard like paper sheets. A beautiful example of superb world-class german cartography of the late 19th century. It is valued for the very detailed maps of middle Europe, especially German Empire and Austria-Hungary monarchy.
Sohr-Berghaus Hand-Atlas was one of the leading german large-scale world atlases at that time along with Stielers and Andrees "Hand-Atlases". From these three Sohr-Berghaus is probably the hardest one to find for sale and especially in a good condition.
