1879 First edition. Large quarto. In the original cloth boards both detached. 6 double-page maps, 2 large folding (Atlantic City & Highland Grove, Monmouth Beach, Seabright) maps on thin paper, and the remaining 18 single-page maps in very good+ to NF condition. All are colored, none have any repairs with tape, etc... though there is very liitle needed anyway. A very nice, unsofisticated, collection of early colored NJ coastal maps at far below the cost commanded by other professional map dealers, who, not surprisingly, are located in NJ and NY. I would like to sell what is left here to a collector of NJ maps as a lot, to include the covers, instead of further breaking it up to sell individually. "Time", as they say, "will tell", if this comes to pass. Not a common reprint.

The folded 1877 geological survey map of New Jersey is partly split (just five inches) along one fold; a few of the folded maps have some light creasing and irregular folds. One of the most highly… Read More
