[Composite Atlas from Atlas zum handgebrauche …]

Original full sheep, boards detached. Mildly rubbed and worn. There is no title page. Scattered foxing, fairly heavy on some maps while other maps are clean. This is a composite world atlas with 72 small (14x19 cm.) maps. Most of the maps are of areas in Europe, but there are general maps of the Americas, Africa and Asia. Included among the maps are five leaves with two maps each of the vicinities of German cities. At the back is a manuscript list of contents. Phillips 781 lists a Radefeld atlas with 116 maps. It appears that these maps were selected from that or a similar Radefeld atlas and bound together. Most of the maps bear the imprint of Anstalt des Bibliographischn Institut of Hilburgshausen and New York. Several of the maps have dates, ranging from 1835 to 1838. See Phillips 781.
