Stanford's London atlas of universal geography, exhibiting the physical and political divisions of the various countries of the world. Folio edition, published by Edward Stanford. The Stanford map making company had been active in London since 1854. In 1874 they acquired the London atlas of 1834 from John Arrowsmith, with 50 maps which had increased to over 65 maps within 30 years. According to Francis Herbert, Stanford released a special limited edition in 1884 with 70 maps (our copy - see Pub List No. 11741.000 - appears to be a partial set of those maps). This edition, published in 1887, has 90 maps - spanning Vol. I and Vol II - covering the continents, countries, kingdoms and empires. Contains important new maps, including the North Pole, Malta, Cyprus, the approaches to the Black Sea, parts of Canada and Australia. Vol. I has 39 of the maps, as listed in the Contents, which appears in Vol. I, preceding the maps. Handwritten annotations therein mark the presence of Maps 1, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 34-36, 38, 40, 41, 45, 46, 48, 50-52, 55-57, 59, 61, 64-66, 71-77, 80, 84, 86, 88 and 90, as well as the Index. (However, Map 57 - Burmah - marked with annotation as being in Vol. I., actually appears in Vol. II. Therefore, the maps in Vol. I. amount to 39, rather than the 40 marked.) Vol. II. contains 51 maps, which also appear in the Contents of Vol. I, listed as Maps 2, 3, 7-11, 14-18, 21-33, 37, 39, 42-44, 47, 49, 53, 54, 58, 60, 62, 63, 67-70, 78, 79, 81-83, 85, 87 and 89 (plus map of Burmah, listed as Map 57 and marked, erroneously, as appearing in ...
