Double page hand colored map of the world. Shows political boundaries, numerous cities, countries, rivers, oceans, and deserts. Map centered on the American continent and a portion of Asia is duplicated to show its connection with the United States. The Antarctic continent is shown relatively primitive state of Antarctic exploration during this time. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington. 1872 was the first edition, although Lloyd's maps from this atlas, in different configurations, appear in the 1871 Warner and Beers Atlas of the State of Illinois, the 1872 Warner, Higgins and Beers Atlas of Whiteside Co. and the State of Illinois, the 1872 Walling and Gray Atlas of the State of Ohio, and the 1873 Martenet, Walling and Gray Atlas of the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia (see our copies). We am sure that the maps also appear in numerous other county and state atlas by these and perhaps other publishers. Lloyd provided his maps to publishers to use in their atlases of counties and states, to give them an extra U.S. atlas at the back of their books. The maps are mostly on the same scale, indicating that they derive from a large wall map (see P11038). The configuration of the maps in the Handy Atlas is quite different from the other issues - especially unusual is the California and Nevada Map which has Arizona added at the bottom, turned ninety degrees. And in the Handy atlas, Lloyd adds maps of the rest of North America and the world. 93 +XXXV pages, Includes table of contents, flag and arms of the nations, statistical tables and index, maps in full color. Bound into brown cloth covered boards with "Handy Atlas" stamped in gilt. cf P864 (1872 edition).
