Wyld’s general atlas in 58 pages, with engraved title and contents within decorative border printed in green. Contains 55 engraved maps, most dated 1838, hand color in outline, mostly double page and some folded, three engraved comparative charts of mountains and rivers and itinerary measures. Bound in red grained morocco, incorporating original marbled paper covered boards, original engraved title label on the front cover, and title “Wyld’s general atlas” in gilt in on spine. Atlas containing very detailed maps of the world with an emphasis on Europe, but with several important maps showing the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia. Most of the maps have a small vignette illustrating a feature of the region. This large general atlas by Wyld is far more rare than his smaller general atlas of 1824, see our 2713.000
