Descripción

Folio, contemporary (likely original) 3/4 polished calf, cloth covers with mounted, brilliant gilt stamped red morocco label ("E. W. CARRINGTON | THE UNIVERSAL ATLAS | FARMINGTON"), thick marbled endpapers, title page, Contents leaf, 65 maps, all hand-colored (mostly in soft pink, yellow & green), with but one or two small spots detected. Otherwise, clean and bright throughout. Of these, 37 are devoted to North America. Of some rarity, despite the fact that two other examples are currently (1/24) on offer on various platforms, and priced somewhat in advance of the present, superior specimen. My cursory scan through the final four decades of lists published by Ken Leach, of Brattleboro VT - a man always keenly connected to rare and desirable Vermontiana - revealed but one copy he had on offer, back in 1984, for a tenth the price of this one. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 42-2111. NOT IN GILMAN. Only Edition. A Very Good copy. N° de ref. del artículo E-90/26
