About This Item
Philadelphia: Anthony Finley, 1826. First edition thus. Full Morocco Casing. Very Good Plus. Scarce pocket version of Finley's atlas! With fifteen hand-colored maps. 15 by 12 cm case. The maps open up to be 54 by 44 cm. Maps are of North America; the United States at the time; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont; Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island; New York; Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware; Virginia and Maryland; the Carolinas and Georgia; Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; Kentucky and Tennessee; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and part of the Michigan territory; Missouri and part of the Arkansas territory; Florida and elevation of mountains; the West Indies; and South America. The leather case has moderate soiling throughout, and a crack with a dry patch along the joint, or top of the flap. The gilt lettering is all legible. The first and last map are soiled, with the first, or North American map, more heavily so. Otherwise, the maps are generally bright and clean and in fine or near fine condition. All the maps are well-preserved physically -- there are no tears along the flaps, for example.
