Encyclopedias - Meyer, Joseph. The Great Conversational Lexicon for the Educated Classes. 46 volumes and 6 supplementary volumes, totaling 52 volumes. With over 1,800 steel-engraved plates: cityscapes, portraits, and colored maps. Hildburghausen, Bibliogr. Institut, 1840–1855. 24.5 x 16 cm. Contemporary leather bindings with spine labels (spines restored; some spine labels illegible). First edition. - Sarkowski 8 - Seemann 420 - Zischka p. 1. - Original edition, or so-called “zero edition,” of the great encyclopedia, also known as the “Wunder-Meyer” due to the richness of its content and illustrations. - With over 200,000 entries, it is the most comprehensive printed encyclopedia. - “In his encyclopedia, Meyer sought to tackle the ‘aristocracy of knowledge’ and wrest from it the ‘benefit of privilege’... The articles are broadly comprehensive, particularly in the historical disciplines and the natural sciences. Good maps; abundant bibliographic references.” (Zischka) - In this copy, the plates accompanying the respective articles are bound into the volume. The text and plates are almost always remarkably free of stains. The number of steel-engraved plates is usually given as “over 1,800”; occasionally, precise figures are provided, such as “1,832” or “822 steel engravings, 120 maps” (Peche). In this copy, the count of plates ends at 1,816 (881 steel-engraved views, 386 portraits, 163 maps, 334 other plates such as technical illustrations, etc., 52 title engravings). — Such complete copies, with all supplementary volumes—including the General Register of over 1,000 pages contained in Supplementary Vol. 6—and uniformly bound, are rare. *
