About this Item

No edition stated (hardback). Folio (37cm by 25cm), title page, contents page, 42 double-page lithographic maps with contemporary outline colouring. Publisher's binding of half red morocco, red cloth boards, gilt tiling to the spine, gilt titling and design to the front board, marbled endpapers. The binding is scuffed and bumped (but intact); the maps are generally in excellent condition (one of them - the map of Essex - has a small mark to the verso). All editions of this atlas were undated; the binding of this copy matches other copies we have seen that can be dated to 1850 or thereabouts by provenance, and the railways are consistent with a publication date of about 1850. For example, the main railway south of York is named the "York and North Midland Railroad".
