Note | This is Charles Morse's only folio atlas. He uses many of the Morse and Breese cerographic maps, but hand colors them. Morse was no relation to the Jedidiah and Sidney Morse family, although he "traded" on the name. Morse also collaborated with Colby on the tiny Diamond Atlas. There is a second illustrated title page reading "Morse's General Atlas. Compiled From The Latest And Best European And American Authorities. Published by D. Appleton ... New-York. Herrick, Del. Roberts, Sc." Full color. Bound into quarter leather brown cloth covered boards, stamped with "Morse's General Atlas Of The World" in gilt; spine reads "Morse's General Atlas." |
