Zero or first edition of Stieler Atlas published 1817-1833 in three versions. 1817-23 (version 0.a), 1823-31 (version 0.b), 1831-33 (version 0.c). Publication went through ten editions from 1816 to 1944. This version published in 2 parts then augmented with two further supplementary installments, through 1833. Most maps have the year of first edition. This edition compromises 90 sheets, dated 1816-1835, including composite index map, and extraordinarily detailed maps and supplements. Maps are copper-plate engravings, hand colored in outline, mounted on cloth backing. Bound in marble papered, half leather covers with no title on cover. Inset map on title page: Gotha und Umgebung 1823 ; gest. v. Edler. Gez. v. Bar.

Later edition, 1st ed. was 1863 (see our copy). Changes from the 1863 edition include: North and South American are now at the center of the map as opposed to the left side, many insets of cities, straits, islands, etc. are added, many more steamship lines and routes are shown, drift ice is indicated, and topography is updated in the western U.S. A dense and complicated map, more so, if that is possible, than the first edition. Printed in full color.
