About This Item
London: G.W. Bacon & Co., Limited, 1910.. Second edition. 4to. (iv), (4), 20, 16, 4, 2 pp. Publisher's red cloth, gilt lettered to the upper panel, rebacked to style. Frontispiece illustrating the "flags of all nations", 6 full page maps including individual maps of the north and south polar regions with surrounding universal time charts and 26 double page maps, all in colour. Slight colour bleed onto the endpapers, else very good. The collation includes a general map of Oceania, a general map of Australia and 6 state maps plus a general map of New Zealand plus individual maps of the north and south islands. Although the atlas bears Bacon's London imprint it remains notably scarce outside of Australia. OCLC records one copy of this second edition in the US plus five in Australian institutions. Only three copies of the 1909 edition and a single copy dated 1911 are listed, all in Australia.
