Mitchell’s School Atlas…

Square 4to (11 ½ x 9 ½) publisher’s original quarter green calf and pictorial peach-colored boards. With 17 hand-colored copper engraved maps (5 double pages) plus insets. Spine ends and corners bumped, shelf wear, a few small dampstains, soiling; binding a bit loose, short splits to some of the centerfolds (U.S. map), and light toning and foxing to contents. Overall about very good. Interesting double page map of the United States that shows large portions of the map as territories, including a good sized section labeled as “Indian Territory”. The Missouri Territory stretches well into the Northwest portion of the U.S., and a portion of the Northwest is designated as “Upper California”. An inset at the lower left hand side of the map illustrates the “Gold Region of California”.
