(The Maps and Copperplates) – In the German language. By Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Scherer. 24 maps and engravings.
***
An extraordinary collection of 24 very rare maps and engravings. Collected by Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Scherer and printed in Halle in 1802. Some of the maps don’t have the publisher printed on the cartouches since this is an advanced copy intended for the publisher.
Bound in a contemporary fine leather binding. All maps are extremely scarce and some of them are without the publisher’s legend, making them unique on the market.
Maps are in various dimensions, with some of them folding.
All of them are in fine condition with minimal traces of wear and aging, a few are slightly stained.
Maps are collected with the purpose of an introduction to the historical understanding of the Bible. A list of maps can be found on the first page:
