Pub Note:
Date estimated. Maps are dated 1879 to 1881. Phillips dates this atlas 1882 because of the dates 1879-1882 on the outside cover of the LOC copy - our copy has no dates on the cover, consequently we date it 1881. After South America an extra 8 maps of the Mediterranean are added. With full and outline hand painted color. Relief shown by hachures. Paper edges are gold.
