About This Item
Philadelphia: Woolman & Rose, 1878. Hardcover. Good. First edition. Arranged and illustrated by T.F. Rose, surveys by H.C. Woolman, history and statistics by T.T. Price. Large quarto. 372pp., with a printed slip (additional list of patrons) tipped-in at the back. Color-tinted lithographic title page, numerous color lithographic maps (several of which are folded, including the 1877 geological survey of the state of New Jersey), and numerous lithographic plates (including some double-page). Original publisher's quarter leather and decorative cloth boards stamped in blind and gold, marbled endpapers. The leather spine and edges of the boards are worn and partly abraded, overall soiling on the boards, else very good or better, internally clean with some moderate toning and light foxing at the front and back. 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 sought of New Jersey atlases, celebrated for its many color maps and lithographic prints of New Jersey Shore towns in Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth counties.
