Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia (London): HC Carey and J Lea (London: Printed for Sherwood, Jones and Co.), 1823. VG, all maps and plates present:The United States, General Map of North America, Pantography of American History, British Possessions in America, View of Quebec, View of Havannah, Chart of the Constitutions of the United States, View of Philadelphia, Mexico (Spanish Possessions), West Indies, Cuba (with St. Domingo, Jamaica and Bahama Islands), SOuth America, Colombia, Brazil, View of Rio Janeiro, United Provinces (and Chili), View of Monte Video (and Plan of the Harbor). All in very good or better condition with folds as issued and original hand coloring. A short tear at the attachment of the consitution plate was repaired verso with archival tape, as were a couple of fold separations (no serious image loss) on the Cuba map. This volume was nicely rebacked with half-leather, and the binding is very tight, minimal browning with mild offsetting from a couple of the plates. Almost no foxing. This was published a year after the first edition (1822) of the larger Carey and Lea atlas, and this volume is itself increasingly uncommon, especially in this condition. The text itself is quite extensive, with details on all existing states, territories and the areas applicable to the above plates. . Half-Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Sobre The Prime Meridian: Antique Maps & Books
The Prime Meridian: Antique Maps & Books is owned and operated by Joel & Deborah Kovarsky. We first opened in 1998, but have had a decades-old interest in old maps, books, and paper, stemming from a comparable long-standing interest in how knowledge is used. Our business is run via the internet. We do not run an open shop, however we do welcome visitors by appointment only. Before attempting a visit, please contact us. We are a specialty business, dealing in antiquarian maps and related books (atlases, history of cartography, selected reference books, etc.). Please feel free to contact us for specific inquiries.
