<em><strong>Wilhelm Beer and Johann Heinrich von Mädler, 1834-36</strong></em><br /><br />This exceptionally detailed map was produced by German astronomers Wilhelm Beer and Johann Heinrich von Mädler, and was released in quadrants between 1834 and 1836. Their <em>Mappa Selenographica -- </em>shown here as a closeup from Stieler's Hand-Atlas<em> -- </em>is considered the most complete moon map of its age, and would not be surpassed for 40 years.
