1850 View of Mount Jefferson, New Hampshire,
from "Meyer's Universum"
"Mount Jefferson"
This beautiful steel engraving appeared in "Meyer's Universum"
by Joseph Meyer (1796-1856), published in Hildburghausen (Germany) by the
Bibliographischen
Instituts c1850. Plate DCCCLXXVII.
Bibliographischen
Instituts was created in 1826 by Joseph Meyer (1796-1856).
From 1833 to 1864, Joseph Meyer issued a
journal, Meyer's Universum, containing text and steel engravings of all
parts of the world. Some of those engravings appeared in
the 52-volume
"Conversations Lexicon" (1840 - 1855).
The Institute also issued
"Meyer's Travel Guide"
and many editions of "Meyer's
Atlas".
This beautiful authentic steel engraving shows
Mount Jefferson, NH,
the third highest peak in New
Hampshire, in New England, and in the Northeastern United States. It is
located on the main Presidential Range crest between the first and
second highest peaks-north of Mount Washington
and south of the bulk of Mount Adams. Located at
the center of the scenic Northern Peaks of the Presidential Range, it,
like its neighbors, boasts a vast area of rare eastern above-timberline
terrain, and weather that can rapidly become near-Antarctic.
The summit area has three little peaklets in a triangle, and is possibly
the best viewpoint in the Presidentials, with Adams, Washington, and the
Great Gulf all visible close-up.
The engraving shows the summit area. Depicted is a group of hunters
armed with rifles;
one of them is shooting birds...
