Mapmaker: Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (1766-1820) was an Austrian publisher, cartographer and writer. Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly was born as the son of the court master Johann Reilly. At first he worked in the civil service, but then devoted himself exclusively to geography. Between 1789 and 1806 the atlas Schauplatz der Five Parts der Welt was created , but on its 830 sheets it deals only with Europe. After the school atlas (1791–92) and the general description of the earth (3 volumes, 1792–93), he published the first (complete) Austrian world atlas with the title Grosser deutscher Atlas from 1794 to 1796 . In 1796 the adjustment series Historical and Pictorial Presentation of the Regiments of the Erzhaus Oesterreich was created , in 1799 the General postal atlas from around the world - the world's first atlas of its kind.
