  • Vandermaelen Atlas Universel
    Map Library  ·   Digital Special Collections
    Description
    Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique : sur l'échelle de 1/1641836 ou d'une ligne par 1900 toises, created and published by Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen, is believed to be the first world atlas on a uniform scale. The creation of this atlas has been described as “one of the most remarkable developments of private enterprise in cartography.” (Koeman, 1969) All of the maps, regardless of the area shown, are at the same scale and on the same conic projection. If assembled as a single unit, they would create a globe with a nearly 8-meter diameter. The sheets were published and distributed in installments between 1825 and 1827. The atlas is composed of 6 volumes, containing approximately 390 maps and 40 pages of statistical tables. Some of the maps include text. Because all of the maps are at the same scale, areas of the world less well known by Europeans, such as Africa and western North America, are mapped at the same level of detail as Europe, making these maps some of the earliest and most detailed maps of otherwise unknown areas. Please contact the Map Library regarding this atlas via e-mail at charts@library.illinois.edu or by calling 217-333-0827.

  • Vorbote (Chicago, Ill.)
    History, Philosophy, and Newspaper Library  ·   Digital Special Collections
    Description
    In 1874, the Workingmen's Party of Illinois joined the national effort to increase the visibility and awareness of immigrant laborers and began publishing Vorbote, a German-language weekly based in Chicago. The title, Vorbote, German for "harbinger," did just that by focusing on the political interests of the working class. Carl Klings served as editor for the Vorbote through December of 1875, at which time he was removed due to his "reluctance to support labor unions." After nearly two years of national success publishing "agitational and educational material" under Klings, Vorbote's second editor, Conrad Conzett, launched the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung ("Chicago German Workers Newspaper"), which was published three days a week and which focused on the German community in Chicago, rather than on Germans in the United States as a whole. By 1878, the Vorbote declared itself the "independent organ for the true interests of the proletariat." Meanwhile, in 1879, after expanding to becoming a daily, the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung dedicated its profits to start a third German-language paper: Die Fӓckel ("The Torch"), an eight-page Sunday publication. After 1880, the Vorbote served as the weekly edition of the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung. In the late 1910s, the three newspapers altered their format and content. After Die Fӓckel ceased publication on October 12, 1919, the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung decreased its publication output to once a week, replacing Die Fӓckel as a Sunday edition. In addition, the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung picked up Die Fӓckel's supplement, titled Bildung ist Wissen —Wissen ist Macht ("Education is Knowledge, Knowledge is Power"). The Vorbote continued as a weekly, printing on Wednesday; however, after Die Fӓckel ended publication, Vorbote began reprinting both the main pages and supplement for the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung. The two latter newspapers remained in business until 1924. Banned in Germany because of their radical content, the _Vorbote_, the _Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung_, and _Die Fӓckel_ significantly impacted the German-American labor movement, having begun as political organs of workingman parties, then becoming socialist, and finally anarchist papers.
