Bibliographic information
| Note | First edition. The North America map shows Colorado as a Territory - very up to date (most U.S. atlases do not show Colorado until 1862) for an English Atlas. Also shows Nevada, and a horizontal Arizona. However, the western U.S. map shows none of this - its layout is pre 1860. Maps have a mixture of hand painted outline color and printed blue color for water. Covers are half leather brown cloth covered boards with"Keith Johnston's Royal Atlas Of Modern Geography" stamped in gilt on the cover, and "The Royal Atlas. Keith Johnston. W. Blackwood & Sons" on the spine. |
