Andrees Allgemeiner Handatlas was a major cartographic work published in several German and foreign editions 1881 - 1937. It was named after Richard Andree (1835-1912) and published by Velhagen & Klasing, Bielefeld and Leipzig, Germany. By using chromolithography, rather than copper plate engraving, but reproducing the maps from zinc plates that were etched in relief (just like letterpress printing), V & K was able to offer detailed maps at a much lower price than competing works, such as the 7th and 8th editions of Stielers Handatlas. Often disassembled for its maps, this 4th Edition copy of Andrees Handatlas is rarity due to its completeness. A quality collectors item invery good condition. Ships daily.
