TRIETSCH, Davis (1870-1935). Atlas der Jüdischen Welt. Berlin: Orient-Verlag, 1926.
Extremely scarce atlas with attractive graphic design, showing statistical cartography for Jewish populations. Trietsch was born in Dresden, Germany, before moving to New York, where he studied Jewish migration. In 1895 he proposed the Jewish colonization of Cyprus. Later, in 1897, he attended the First Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland, where he was one of only four Americans in attendance and the only American delegate. In the early 20th century, Trietsch moved back to Germany and settled in Berlin where he published such cartographic material as the present lot to promote the Zionist cause and emigration to Palestine; he himself settled in Palestine in 1932. Trietsch seems to have had a fluid publication policy, and it is difficult to keep track of ‘editions’ of his atlases. 9 of the maps in this atlas were also simultaneously published in his 1926 Palästina-Wirtschafts-Atlas, and one of the maps in the present lot has had its date changed from 1925 to 1926. Only one copy of this Trietsch atlas can be traced in an institution (Hamburg, giving date of 1925 and with 15 ll. only). The maps and charts cover Jewish land ownership in Palestine, Jewish populations in the USA and under the British Empire, etc. Perhaps the most emotive is the map of Jewish populations of Latvia, most of which would be eradicated less than 20 years after the publication of this map.
16 colour-printed maps and charts (383 x 260mm), 3 of which folding (lacking contents leaf, this supplied in facsimile, very occasional faint marginal creasing). Original portfolio (extremities faintly rubbed).
