Pub Note:
49th edition and one of the latest editions we have seen. At this point in the publishing history of this atlas, most if not all of the maps are in color lithography. But the quality of the lithographic printing is declining. Maps often show countries color-coded to indicate the colonizing European country. Relief in hachures.
