Pub Note:
|
19th century pocket atlas for use by postmasters in 48 pages. With 20 woodcut maps, covering Western States, printed in red and blue, with corresponding listings of the counties and county seats. Includes additional maps of Pennsylvania pasted on page 48 and inside back cover. Each map presented in two versions, one naming each county and the other naming each county seat, tables correspond with a numbered grid on each map to aid in locating the county or seat. On page 5 is a short testimonial, dated Nov.10, 1858, from Abraham Lincoln "Having hastily examined Larrance's Post Office chart and considered the principal upon which it is arranged, I think it will prove a great convenience to Post Masters and others whose business leads them to search out particular localities upon maps." Under the Lincoln quote is this statement: "A diploma was awarded by the United States Fair, held at Cincinnati, 1860, to Isaac Larrance." Atlas is bound in cloth covered boards, blind stamped on back and front covers with "Larrance's Post office charts and maps of Western States." in gilt on front cover.
