Description:
County Atlas of Monroe Michigan Under the Superintendence of S.M. Bartlett from Recent and Actual Surveys and Records for F.W. Beers, New York, 1876. 12 1/2 x 15 7/8 inches, 130pp.
Original boards with blind embossed design front and back plus a strong bold gilt design on front. Book has been re-backed with new brown cloth spine and new endpapers. Original boards have heavy wear to edges with minor loss to areas of the cloth. Interior is relatively clean with light foxing and toning, some edge wear to individual sheets and general soiling to the edges of the book block. Good Condition.
Wonderful survivor of the Monroe County Michigan Atlas published in 1876 by F.W. Beers. Typical of the period, this atlas is filled with hand-colored maps and many illustrations of many important businesses and residences. Despite the somewhat funky pagination (sometimes blank pages are counted as a page, sometimes not), the atlas appears to be complete. 42 hand-colored plat maps on 33 sheets plus 101 views of homes, farms, businesses and churches. Two folding plates. Also includes a 4-page directory of businesses.
Extras shipping due to size and weight. Good / None.
