Among the artists collaborating with the Merians in this work were Wenzel Hollar, a pupil of the elder Merian; Joachim von Sandrart, an instructor of the younger Merian; Conrad Bunno, who produced the illustrations for the principality of Brunswick, and Jan Peters, the illustrator for France and the Netherlands. There probably has never been an atlas published since so0 inclusive as this put out by the Merian house early in the seventeenth century. It literally showed every dwelling house, church and store in every village in Germany of any importance at that time. This makes it a treasure house for students of history. The artists would go into a town, count the houses on every street, note any pe- culiar styles of building and then go to a distance to get a perspective of forests, hills and farms surrounding the settlement. The German cities were shown in their splendor and prosperity. But at the time the topography was published the Thirty Years' War was already under way, and many of them were destroyed by the two armies, which were living off the country. Most of the towns shown were still small clus- ters of houses, a church spire ascend- ing out of each group of roofs, sur- rounded by cultivated fields. Chiefly Works of Art. The volumes devoted to France, Switzerland, Holland and ancient Rome are by no means so inclusive or accurate as_those which deal with Germany. The atlas was intended primarily for the use of German geog- raphers and business men. The text was by Martin Zelller, a noted geogra- pher of his day, but it contains little of value. The Library prizes the books chiefly as works of art. This is one of tI few complete sets in any library in the world, and agents of the Library of Congress, knowing of its existence, have been on the lookout for it for several years. The work of the early masters in copper engraving was al- lowed to disappear, because it was considered at the time as mere crafts- manship rather than art, and it i only” within recent. years that the genius displayed in the lines and shad ows of the old engravings has been recognized by artists. fPt dimio RESH 2L BOOTH BACK IN LONDON.
