Handtke was formally trained as a surveyor in the Prussian army. Following his discharge in 1838 he took a position as the head of cartography at the Głogow, Poland, publishing house of Carl Flemming. Initially, Handtke, in an attempt to hide his youth, inscribed his map publications as "Dr. Karl Sohr." From 1838 to 1874, Handtke and Flemming issued some 260 maps, about 168 of which Handtke drew himself.") Wikipedia, accessed September 8, 2021 (Friedrich Handtke, (7. Dezember 1815 in Pförten; 25.
