Hoffmann (1835)

Karl Friedrich Vollrath Hoffmann (1798-1842) published this amazing "Himmels-Atlas" in 1835.
To my opinion this is the last of the great celestial atlases in the style of Bode.
Official name: "Vollständiger Himmels-Atlas für Freunde und Liebhaber der Sternkunde nach den vorzüglichsten Hilfsquellen und eigenen Beobachtungen".
There might have been a reprint in 1842. See plate XIII "Der Grosse Bär".
