Libro Original o primera edición
Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The First Edition, First Issue of Cary's innovative Atlas, published on September 1st, 1787 in Very Good condition, the maps themselves being in Fine condition. Folio size hardback in full mottled calf on original boards with professionally replaced spine (compartmented, ruled, with gilt text on maroon leather label). Surface scratches and small indents to surface with what looks like an ink stain to rear board, corners worn but overall smooth and attractive The work on this binding evidently carried out by William George's Sons Ltd., of 89 Park Street, Bristol [tiny binder's/bookseller's label to foot of front inner board].The 47 maps have been collated as all present (Yorkshire merits four maps) and ALL dated September 1st, 1797 - the first issue. All maps have some hand-colouring, chiefly to borders, roads and estates or Parks / woodland. Many tissue guards are present but being made of inferior paper (as usual) they have not fared well and are either creased or ragged or loose (or all three) - they have however more or less done their job in protecting the plates though not without, in a very few cases, some very light off-setting to map borders - though not to the maps themselves. Faint off-settiing to top margin of title page and to a lesser extent the Dedication page, again due to the inferior paper of one leaf. Final half-page of text (Subscribers T to Y) has off-setting from rear board and final blank. The front free end-paper also has by hand, Yapp's name and date. The following blank page has the neatly written name of the antiquary and numismatist, Vernon B. Crowther-Beynon 1894. White, soft, laid paper with statuesque watermark (complete, no name) to a front blank leaf. Apart from the first map "Southern Britain" (England and Wales) appearing on the recto side of the book, all other maps appear on the verso (left) side with the map information opposite. Thus, viewing landscape-orientated maps is made easier with the fore-edge facing downwards. The maps are paginated by hand (no printed pagination except for the text at the rear) in what appears to be neat contemporary hand, also on the alphabetical Contents page. Front non-paginated collation: p[i-ii] Blank, [iii] Title page, [iv] Blank, [v] Dedication [stunning calligraphy], [vi-vii] Blank, [viii] Advertisement, [ix] Contents, [x] 'South Britain' map, [xi-xii] Blank, [xiii] Middlesex map (first County map). Rear text collation: Directions [1]-6, Market Towns [7]-10, Post-Towns [11]-17, Blank [18], List of Subscribers [19]-[24], + 1 Blank.Inside the front board (paste-down end-paper) is the very attractive ex libris of Brunson Yapp (1910-1990), OBE, the distinguished zoologist and author of (for example) Birds in Medieval Manuscripts. A COMPLETE COPY of the work, having importantly, the full List (6pp.) of Subscribers, numbering in total, approximately one thousand and including for each Subscriber, the town or city they were associated with. This List has invaluable information for historical bibliography and was crucial to the very existence of the book of course. How were so many potential Subscribers appraised of the book and how are they distributed across Britain? Also at the rear: Directions for the junctions of the roads of England and Wales through all the Counties. [Six pages covering 52 routes.]; The Market Borough Towns in England and Wales (with distances from London, number of parliamentary representatives; cities and universities];a List of Principal Post and Sub-Post-Towns with their Receiving Houses; and the Subscribers' List. Overall, a handsome copy with far better than average plates and sturdy leather binding. Some additional mailing cost for international insurance fees. Huge 40% PRICE reduction now applied.
