VG, all maps and plates present:The United States, General Map of North America, Pantography of American History, British Possessions in America, View of Quebec, View of Havannah, Chart of the Constitutions of the United States, View of Philadelphia, Mexico (Spanish Possessions), West Indies, Cuba (with St. Domingo, Jamaica and Bahama Islands), SOuth America, Colombia, Brazil, View of Rio Janeiro, United Provinces (and Chili), View of Monte Video (and Plan of the Harbor). All in very good or better condition with folds as issued and original hand coloring. A short tear at the attachment of the consitution plate was repaired verso with archival tape, as were a couple of fold separations (no serious image loss) on the Cuba map. This volume was nicely rebacked with half-leather, and the binding is very tight, minimal browning with mild offsetting from a couple of the plates. Almost no foxing. This was published a year after the first edition (1822) of the larger Carey and Lea atlas, and this volume is itself increasingly uncommon, especially in this condition. The text itself is quite extensive, with details on all existing states, territories and the areas applicable to the above plates. . Half-Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
