Andrees Allgemeiner Handatlas

Andree General Hand Atlas is a work of cartography. The atlas is named after Richard Andree (1835-1912) and was published from 1881 to 1937 from Velhagen & Klasing in Bielefeld and Leipzig.

Andree originally used chromolithograpische plates instead of copper engravings and could thus offer cards with good resolution and detail reproduction at an affordable price. With the exception of the issue of 1937, which was printed in offset, the finer gradations of color was " the Andree " but using zinc plates in the high-pressure process allows reproduced.

The first edition appeared in 1881. The fourth and the fifth edition were by Albert Scobel ( 1851-1912 ) published the sixth to eighth by Ernst Ambrose and the last of Konrad Frenzel. Cartographers were G. Jungk († 1932), R. quiver († 1958), E. Umbreit († 1904), A. Thomas († 1930), H. Mielisch († 1925) and K. Tänzler († 1944). Individual maps were also produced in other geographical institutes like Peip, Wagner & Debes, star head and Sulzer.

A Geographic Guide to Andree's Hand Atlas appeared in 1882, 1894, 1895 (2nd edition), 1898 to 1899 ( 3 ) 1902 ( 4 ) and 1909 ( 5 ).
