Rezensionen - Comptes-rendus critiques: Atlas over Danmark, II: Befolkningen
E. Bührer · 1962
This review discusses the second volume of the Danish National Atlas, dedicated to population, authored by Aage Aagesen and published in Copenhagen in 1961. The core of the volume consists of 11 maps at 1:200,000 scale, using red dots (representing 25 persons) and circles (for cities) to depict the population distribution of Denmark in 1950, supplemented by choropleth maps, changes since 1860, and employment structure. The clear text elaborates on the maps and aerial photographs, providing a highly instructive overview of the country's population structure. The reviewer concludes that this volume is a meritorious contribution to Danish geography and will serve as a positive impetus for the Swiss National Atlas.
Mapy a Atlasy: Atlas over Danmark II
O. Kudrnovská · 1963
This article reviews recent developments in the compilation of regional atlases in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe during the early 1960s. It first introduces the Atlas of the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldavian SSR (Moscow, 1962), which contains approximately 130 maps at various scales, covering physical geography, industry, agriculture, and economic regionalization, supplemented by concise explanatory texts. The article then evaluates the new series of Polish voivodeship maps at 1:500,000, which show notable improvements in information density, cartographic quality, and relief representation. Furthermore, it discusses the second volume of the Atlas of Denmark, focusing on population distribution, and the inaugural issue of the International Yearbook of Cartography (1961), outlining its objectives and contents. Finally, it mentions the newly produced plastic relief map of the Tatra Mountains at 1:100,000 in Czechoslovakia. Overall, these works reflect the diversification and internationalization of regional atlas production techniques during this period.
