Outline hand colored. Showing international boundaries. "Atlas of the World" printed on the upper right corner. A late edition of this atlas, published as early as 1836 (see our copy). Several new maps of Australia and South Africa are added and the other maps have been updated to show railroad development. The American maps have been updated, but inadequately so in the West - the River Buenaventura is still flowing out of Salt Lake on the Mexico Map. Half leather cloth-covered boards with stamped title "Wyld's General Atlas" on cover in gold. Relief shown by hachures.
