Gilles (and John Cloud et al.): As I recall the original enquiry, it requested a lead to discover if there was a corpus of digitised images of the 'PGM' maps - not references to (old) articles and books. The best of the latter will be found in the reference I gave - and specifically to Jan Smits, who should be contacted ([email protected]) direct. But, now feeling obliged to carry out a simple search myself, I have discovered that the 'PGM' or 'Mittheilungen aus Justus Perthes' geographischer Anstalt . . .' (1855-1894) - complete (?) with its maps - are to be found scanned and publicly accessible (Dank u wel, Universiteitsbibliotheek Gent!) direct. Or (my longer route) via www.maphistory.info/Webimages.html ; then click on (what was to me, an obvious starting point) the 'Europeana' site. Whether Gent University - or any other institution - has continued the scanning of the series I know not.

In: Petermanns Geographische Mitteilungen, Vol. 122 (1978), pages 185-202, 271-284. It mentioned another index, older, by R. Bliss Classified index to the maps in Petermann's Geographische Mittheilungen, 1855-1881, Bulletin of Harvard University, no. 22-27, 1882-1884. A list comprising 1340 titles followed by a "reference list" of (a) personal names and (b) expeditions and surveys. Many lists (JB Harley would have ironized about that), but no scans. G.
