Sobre este artículo
Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1912. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. FIRST EDITION from 1912, this book comprises a thoroughly annotated list of all the maps of the areas specified in the title bequeathed to the U.S. Library of Congress in the 1906 will of historian & scholarly investigator Woodbury Lowery. Lovely decorative title page & portrait of Lowery as frontispiece; tissue overlay is intact. No other maps in book--just descriptions of the ones in Lowery's collection. The collection is described thoroughly, listed by year, with complete author & title indexes in rear. 567 pages. Condition is solidly VG: Hardcover has burgundy cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine. It is an ex-library copy, but the call letter sticker from spine has been carefully removed; some stamps in the front matte, to outer top page edges, & on the corners of a few random pages. Otherwise, extremely clean, binding tight & square, pages lightly tanned around edges. Minor bumping & rubbing to corners & extremities. NO DJ, likely as issued. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! All orders processed before 2 pm weekdays (PST) ship that same day; later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day!
