Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PETERMANN, AUGUST HEINRICH (18221878) , German cartographer, was born at Bleicherode, near Nordhausen, on the 18th of
April
  1822. At the age of seventeen he entered the Geographical School of Art in Potsdam, and in 1845 proceeded to Edinburgh to assist Dr
Keith
  Johnston in the production of an
English
  edition of the
Physical
 
Atlas
  of
Berghaus
 . In 1847 he came to London, and published among other works, an account of Barth's expedition to Central Africa (1855). In 1854 he became director of the geographical institute of Justus
Perthes
  in Gotha, and editor of the well-known Petermanns Mitteilungen. His
work
  did much towards elucidating the geography of the interior of Africa and of the North Polar regions. Queen Victoria, at the
suggestion
  of
Bunsen
 , appointed him
physical
  geographer-royal. Petermann died by his own hand at Gotha on the 25th of September 1878.
