Maps are not dated; publication year only on title page; name of cartographer on 14 out of 100 maps, name of engraver on 1 map only. Maps showing seas, bays, ports, rivers, islands, mountains, cities, townships, villages, roads, railroads, telegraph cables, forts, mines, canals etc., including explanation, legend, tables and color coded key to colonies and European possessions. Prime meridians are Ferro, Paris and Greenwich. Relief shown by hachures. Bound into half leather brown covered boards with title “Sohr-Berghaus Hand atlas der neuen Erdbeschreibung in 100 blattern.” stamped on the front cover in gold. The name of Sohr is a pseudonym, probably of the editor of the atlas, F. (Friedrich) Handtke. The famous geographer Heinrich Berghaus had made a minor contribution to the atlas back in 1847. Carl Flemming, publisher of the atlas, used this to mention Berghaus' name prominently on the atlas title page. Berghaus protested against this abuse of his name, but the atlas has kept its name of Sohr-Berghaus ever since.
