| Summary: | In outline color. Left section of the map has a panel tipped in showing Tibet. The corresponding section has not been put in place on the right hand side. This atlas is remarkable for its understated elegance and clarity. It is one of the first truly "modern" atlases of the nineteenth century. This is the fifty sheet 1842 edition, with fifteen maps added including the second state of the rare Map of Texas (1843) and several maps dated 1844. This edition of this atlas is unrecorded in Verner, Phillips, National Maritime Museum, and the British Museum World. The fourteen other additional maps include interesting maps of Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean. Bound with half-leather brown boards with "The London Atlas, by J. Arrowsmith." embossed on the cover. None found - see Streeter Texas 1373A, Wheat 451, Martin & Martin 32 for the Texas map. |
