Not found in any of the reference texts, these maps by Woldermann may indeed be the first raised relief maps published. While we have seen early US made raised relief maps that date to the 1880s, never have we seen these rare German maps which predate US developments by almost a decade. The maps themselves are composed of a sturdy pressed paper, which forms with intricate detail and has endured amazingly well. These are fascinating tactile creations that allow us to feel the river valleys, plateaus, hills and mountains of the world, as they were known in the 1870's. The maps themselves are well detailed for place names, borders and even land quality. The lithographic color amplifies these maps visually, and has remained strong. Condition is good with toning around the edges. This map measures 11 inches by 8.75 inches.
