Description
Description: "Modern" editions of Almanach de Gotha, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2003. When Soviet troops entered Gotha in 1945, they systematically destroyed all archives of the Almanach de Gotha. and after World War II, publishing of 'The Gotha' had to cease. The genuine 'Gotha' has not been re-published or re-issued since 1944. In 1989, the family of Justus Perthes re-established its right to the use of the name Almanach de Gotha. The family then sold these rights to a new company, Almanach de Gotha Limited, formed in London. Justus Perthes considers this a new work and not a continuation of the series last published by his family in 1944 with the 181st edition. The new publishers launched with the 182nd edition on 16 March 1998, following a break of fifty-four years, at Claridge's Hotel. It was written in English instead of French as the Editor felt that English was now the language of diplomacy. Set of 5. Material; paper. Measurement: approximate 4.50" (INCHES). Shipping: $25; different rate to Alaska, California, Hawaii & all International.
