About This Item
Rand McNally & Company, Chicago, 1901. This is a really fantastic old atlas- a few years over 100 at this point. 19 3/4" X 15 1/4" in heavy canvas-like cloth. The covers are heavily soiled, fraying at the spine ends and corners. Both hinges cracking - not surprising given a book this massive and heavy. The first 2 pages (flyleaf and a page of advertising), and the rear free endpaper and last 2 leaves are also soiled. The map of Philadelphia, which covers 2 pages has come loose, but is present. I came across 3 maps that have tears in them: I'm rating this book at FAIR PLUS to GOOD MINUS condition, but the maps, with a few exceptions are in very nice condition and also unusually large in size. Basically, there are 3 types of maps in this atlas: 1) state maps showing railroad lines and cities. There are tables of cities and towns, rivers, mountains etc., + tables showing where the various rail systems go. States are shown in black and white. 2) City Maps: These are in color, and often extend across 2 of these huge pages. City maps are all mounted on binder's hinges, making it possible to remove them without substantial damage to the book. 3) Maps of foreign countries and overseas territories. These are also in full color and mounted on binder's hinges. 440pp. NOTE: The title page calls this the 31st edition. However, each year, a new atlas came out, with new information - so technically, this would be a "First Edition Thus.". 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket.
