. . . . . . . . . . Herrmann J. Meyer and his father,
Joseph Meyer, were publishers of an illustrated travel series
called Meyer's Universumin Germany. Joseph Meyer admired the
U.S.A and sent his son to establish a printing house in New
York.
He
published an American edition of the Universum, "Universum Or Views
Of The Most Remarkable Places And Objects Of All Countries", which
was published by the North American Bibliographic Institution (New
York: H.J. Meyer; first volume, 1852; second volume 1853.) using
prints from Germany.
He also
published "The United States Illustrated" enlisting the services of
Charles A. Dana editor of the New York Tribune to be editor of the
series. Unfortunately, the series did not do well as most titles
were a mix of German and English in both publications making them
scarce to find today for good impressions of early
America
