Notes
1 Conveniently, the same atlas also contained some smaller-scale maps of neighboring countries that we traveled to in subsequent years.
2 Andrees Handatlas (Velhagen & Klasing) of Citation1890 still lacks coastlines at some points on the Antarctic continent as well as various islands in the southern Pacific.
3 The Citation1818 Atlas topographique, minéralogique et statistique de la France can be regarded as the first statistical atlas worldwide, founding a rich tradition of French statistical atlases.
4 Russia 1873, German Empire 1876–1878, France 1878, Portugal 1881, United Kingdom 1882, Austrian Empire 1882–1887, Belgium 1899, Prussia 1905, Finland 1908.
5 Argentina 1873, United States 1874, Mexico 1886, India 1886, Japan 1902.
6 First attempts for thematic atlases containing some statistical maps have been made earlier by Vögelin & Meyer (1846–1868), Gerster (1872) and Attinger (1907–1908); larger monothematic atlases (pp. 10–15) were edited by Wartmann (1873, commerce statistics), Anderegg (1884, agricultural statistics) and SBB & Post (1915, transport statistics).
