This article reviews the Atlas of the Czechoslovak Republic, published in 1935. The atlas contains 55 map sheets with a total of 504 maps and cartograms, covering natural conditions, demographics, and economy. The author acknowledges the atlas's significant value in statistical cartographic methodology but criticizes its imbalances: economic statistics dominate (49%), while geographical perspectives are weak, with a notable lack of synthetic maps and minimal participation by geographers. The author concludes that although the atlas is an outstanding analytical economic-demographic work, it represents a missed opportunity for Czechoslovak geography.

Kuchař · 1936
The Atlas of the Czechoslovak Republic was published in 1935 by Orbis in Prague, issued by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It comprises 55 map sheets accompanied by explanatory texts in Czech, French, German, or English. Initiated in 1921 and completed after fifteen years of work, the atlas was printed by the Military Geographical Institute. Its structure covers natural conditions, population, agriculture, mining, metallurgy, industry, transport, trade, education, and physical training, with a concluding section on statistical methods. Although some data derive from the 1921 census, the atlas predominantly reflects conditions of the preceding decade, aiming to illustrate interrelations between geographical and economic phenomena. It stands as a definitive geographical representation of Czechoslovakia and a significant national document for international presentation.
