Description: C I R Q L A R Original antique prints, books, maps and atlases Name Of Atlas Stanford's London Atlas Of Universal Geography. Folio Edition. Author/Artist Edward Stanford. Date of Publication Dated on atlas title page 1887. Type of Map Original colored lithographed maps, 90 in all, complete as called for. Size of Sheets Elephant folio: app. 23" X 15 1/2" . Condition In overall very good condition. The title page is nominally torn as well are the few preliminary pages. The first few pages are quite brittle; no maps are affected however. All 90 maps are present and accounted for. There are tabs showing the particular maps at the right edge: several are missing. The covers are present and attached yet worn. This is a HEAVY book, weighing in at over 25#! The single page maps measure 23" X 14 1/2" while the double page maps are 23" X 28". Quite an impressive work... One map (Russia) has a sizeable tear and the US map is split at the centerfold. The text block is broken but the maps are generally just fine thank you. This would be a good restoration project as what few copies of this atlas are in the open market trade for multiples of our opening offer. Description We are pleased to offer this very rare and impressive original colored complete Stanford's London Atlas Of Universal Geography, dated 1890. This is an early, if not first, edition of this important atlas that was revised a few times in the early 1900's. The maps are quite impressive in their own right. Thank you for looking and please be sure and look at our other auctions for other fine works by Audubon from the first as well as the 1860 editions of the Birds Of America. We also have other architectural, natural history plates as well as original maps, all guaranteed original.
