Description: 12 Original engraved Prints for Meyer's Universum (Lot 2)Good condition, fine engraving, blank to verso, some age toneUncoloured as first issuedEach Approx engraved area: 4.75" x 7" (120mm x 180mm) Meyer's Universum or Views of the Most Remarkable Places and Objects of All Countries, in Steel Engravings by Distinguished Artists. This highly popular serial work, launched in 1833 by Carl Joseph Meyer, featured engravings of notable landscapes, vedute, and architectural monuments from around the world. The English-American Edition was edited and published by Hermann J. Meyer in New York in 1852. Herrmann J. Meyer and his father, Joseph Meyer, were German publishers of an illustrated travel series called Meyer’s Universum. Joseph Meyer very much admired the United States and sent his son to establish a publishing house in New York. Herrmann proceeded to publish an American edition of the Universum. The prints from Meyer's various publications are mostly based on first-hand renderings and are finely engraved. They are some of the most interesting and desirable small views of the trans-Mississippi West. Joseph Meyer in time returned to Germany. After the death of his father, Hermann Meyer assumed control of their Bibliographischen Institut which is still in business today. More Genuine Antique Prints from Rare Maps and Prints
