About this Item

1st edition 1st printing of this large and fascinating book of maps and text, now very rare in any condition. It has been professionally conserved and rebound in half calf and marbled paper at some time during the past 30 years, we think, to copy the original binding. It is presented in a tobacco-coloured cloth covered box which has a little wear to the corners. It is in general in very good condition for its age. All the hand-coloured maps, both single sheets, double and fold-outs are present and are very bright and unworn. There is some staining to the slightly grubby title page which has penetrated the 3 subsequent sides, and two or three more small stains to the early pages. No foxing, and although the text has had a little attention from a bookworm, leaving a small group of pinhead sized punctures, gradually reducing in number throughout, in our opinion these barely detract from the cleanness and brightness of either maps or text, nor cause any illegibility.
