Karl Spruner von Merz (1803-1892) is best know for his historical atlases. He served most of his life in the Bavarian Army eventually reaching the rank of General, while also establishing a reputation as a scholar. His maps often focused on historical border changes, empire building and a lot of details that were appreciated and studied by historians, as well as military planners and scholars. This map is from his greatest and last work, which translates to the "Hand-Atlas for the History of the Middle Ages to Modern Times," see above, which was published along with Heinrich Thomas Menke (1819-1892), who was an avid geographer and publisher of geographical atlases. He was a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and contributed to the editing and publishing through his contact with the Justus Perthes Geographical Institute in Gotha, Germany.
