Catalogue Note
Vandermaelen's atlas was the first world atlas to be published by lithography and provided the largest picture of the earth's surface in the nineteenth century, giving the lesser known areas such as Siberia a much more detailed coverage than before. The illustration shows the area around the city of Tomsk in the Western Siberian Lowlands.
