Beautifully lithographed with original hand color, a lavish and very  expensive atlas in its day, now rarely encountered, no doubt to the  small audience which could afford it originally.<br /> <br /> A splendid elephant folio sheet map printed on heavy paper stock,  tremendously detailed; a transitional map at the end of the19th century.  One of the largest single sheet maps issued in the 19th century in a  commercially produced atlas - not to be confused with the much smaller  quarto size or small folio maps such as Johnson, Johnston, A. &amp; C.  Black, etc.<br /> On a c. 29 3/4” W  x  22” H sheet;  engraved image size is 23 3/4"  x   19".</span></span></span></span>
