This large folio atlas is disbound as typical for this size and type of atlas from this era- it's physically over 110 years old and shows some clear signs of handling and time. Binding well age worn but still appealing, front cover detached, almost total loss of spine leather, many maps loosened but still clean and fresh. Text block map paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. An atlas which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new. Still attractive on the shelf. Atlas displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this rare atlas as it survives. We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly. Book Measures c. 20 1/2" H x 14 1/2" W.[B12085]. Le Gear, U. S.
