Scarce, hand-colored plate from "Book of the World - 1844" by Carl Hoffman
"The Book of the World (Das Buch der Welt), edited by Carl Hoffmann, stands as an epitome of erudition, encompassing a diverse array of subjects including natural history, natural theory, regional and ethnographic studies, world history, and the theory of gods. Its pages are adorned with a rich array of both colored and black illustrations, enhancing the reader's journey through the realms of knowledge. Published by Hoffmannsche Verlagsbuchhandlung in Stuttgart, this compendium saw a remarkable span of editions, ranging from the inaugural 1842 release to the 24th edition in 1865. After a brief hiatus, it resumed publication with editions 29 through 31, from 1870 to 1872.
I own most of the Volumes of this great collection.
