Maps from Atlas Silesiae (1750): a listing of plates and states

The paper sets out to attempt identification of all known plates used to print maps included in the and of all identified states of these maps. While the early states of the maps are relatively well studied (though far not in every detail), printings pulled from the same though deeply reworked plates, published in Nurnberg in the first two decades of the 19 c., are not always recognised as the late states of the same maps. For each of twenty maps from listed are all identified states together with the most distinctive differences between them. Eleven copies of were also examined in search for possible regularities of their composition in terms of states of the included maps. Public collections with exemplary copies of the maps in each state identified in the paper are listed in the Appendix.
