Meurer, Peter H. (Author)
In 1816 the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate was founded in Aix-en-Provence. After this Order was banned in France in 1880, its northern French province found refuge in Limburg (Netherlands). The order settled at Ravensbosch estate near Valkenburg. Father Gerhard Sommer compiled a mission atlas of the Oblates for internal use, especially for education. The atlas consists of 69 maps of the Order's mission regions. Two editions of this rare atlas exist, both with the year 1947 on the title page. However, the first, preliminary edition was probably published in the first half of 1949. The second, final edition with descriptions added to the maps, was printed in the beginning of 1950. We can conclude that the Missions-Atlas der Oblaten is a unique work on the topography of this Order. Art teacher Gerhard Sommer did his utmost with the design of the maps, but his standards fall far short of those expected in modern cartography.
