Sažetak
Often called “The Great Century of Missions” (Kenneth Latourette, 1970), the nineteenth century marked a turning point in the way that missionary issues were mapped. The expansion of missionary societies brought the issue of systematization and visual presentation of extensive data related to missionization to the fore. At the same time, the development of state and church statistics in the nineteenth century facilitated the production of thematic ecclesiastical cartography. The same was also true for missionary atlases which, in this period, experienced a strong development. The paper analyses the production, reception and distribution of mission atlases during the nineteenth century, with a special focus on the Allgemeiner Missions-Atlas (Gotha, 1867-1871) and other Justus Perthes’ missionary atlases, as well as on their impact on the production of similar thematic atlases throughout the world.
