Libro Original o primera edición
Hardcover. 1st Edition. First edition of the 1874 official issue, published by Sherman & Co. by authority of Congress. Quarto. In original green blindstamped morocco, all edges gilt, with gilt vignette of the arms of the United States on front and rear covers and spine and yellow coated endpapers. Near fine internally: bright, clean, and unmarked. Externally worn, rubbed, and somewhat chipped to corners and edges of the leather with attendant loss of color. Among the rarest items related to the Wilkes Expedition, this is one of approximately 100 copies, with few ever distributed. The intended atlas volume was never published but the plates appeared variously in other publications. Haskell 68; Forbes 3068; Rosove 354-12.A1; Spence 530.
