The Malte-Brun School Atlas.
1835. · Hartford
by Goodrich, S. Griswold
4to, original printed wrappers, eight maps. Considerable soling and darkening, some staining too, and folds tears, some tape on top cover, but not too obtrusive. Sold as a collection of eight maps, including maps of the southern and western states and territories. The map of the western states basically shows the western states ending with Illinois. While the date on the atlas is 1835, the maps appear to have been made in 1832. This is a scarce little atlas, that presents early depictions of some of these area, when our nation was beginning its expansion prior to the Civil War. (Inventory #: 106578)
