Freytag and Berndt
Freytag and Berndt (1770 - Present) is a publisher of maps, atlases, guidebooks, and travel literature. Its roots reach back to when Francesco Artaria founded a lithographic works in Vienna in 1770. In February 1879, Gustav Freytag founded a cartographic publishing house. Freytag and Berndt merged with Artaria's cartographic division in 1920. After World War II, Freytag-Berndt and Artaria expanded their publishing operations, becoming one of the most important cartographic publishers in Central Europe. Today, Freytag & Berndt publishes street maps, city maps, hiking maps, and cycling maps and employs 50 cartographers and editors at its headquarters in Vienna.

This is Anton Leo Hickmann's c. 1897 colorful chromolithograph statistical map of beer and wine production in the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, published by G. Freytag and Berndt in Vienna. A noted master of the infographic, Hickmann turns the objects of drinking and brewing into instruments of comparison: casks measure trade, towers of barrels rank national output, and elaborate steins compare consumption. The central map provides a complementary geography of drinking, locating breweries and coloring regions according to annual per-capita beer consumption. Published during the industrial expansion of brewing and the phylloxera crisis in European vineyards, the sheet brings two industries undergoing markedly different transformations into a single comparative display.
