Rare separately pubished Missionary map of the World, published by Dr. Peter Reinhold Grundemann, who would go on to publish an important Missionary Atlas and have a prolific career as a Missionary writer and theologian.
In addition to its size and detail, the map shows the hand written notes of what appears to be a German Missionary in Papua, New Guinea.
The map shows the tracks of several missionary ships, including:
- The Morning Star
- J. Knox
- The Candace
- Dahome
- The Harmony
- Allen Gardiner Missions
The title translates as follows:
Mission world map to overview of evangelical missionary areas designed and drawn by Dr. R. Grundemann Hilfsprediger (autumn 1862) Available in the mission houses at Barmen, Basel, Berlin, Hermannsburg and Leipzig. In the bookstore at Petersen in Halle. The net profit is determined for the best of the mission. The output in other languages is reserved.
At the lower left is a list of nearly 100 Missionary Societies around the world, and the regions in which they were working, including German, English, American, Dutch, Scandinavian, French and "other European" societies.
The map is color coded to show the religions and cultures of the indigenous residents of the regions of the world with symbols showing the different types of churches in certain regions.
Dr. R. Grundemann also published the Allgemeiner Missions-Atlas nach Originalquellen.
Peter Reinhold Grundemann, founder of Brandenburg Missionary Conference, was born at Bärwalde, near Berlin.
A prolific writer on missions, Grundemann's best-known publication was Allgemeiner Missionsatlas (General Missions Atlas). Grundemann pastored at Mörz from 1869 to 1913. He founded the Brandenburg mission conference in 1879.
Grundemann studied theology in Tübingen, Halle and Berlin. He worked as a pastor from 1861 to 1865, but then resigned from the ministry to study the missionary issues in England, North America and Holland especially from their geographical side.
He published a Mission World Map published in 1862 and later his General Missionary Atlas. Since 1869 pastor to Mörz bei Belzig, Grundemann wrote a biography of the missionary Johann Friedrich Riedel, a reworking of Burkhardt's small mission library, the development of the evangelical mission, missionary studies and criticisms in connection with a trip to India and sections on Asia and America in Gustav Warneck's missionary lessons .
