Modern half brown morocco over marbled boards by Vogel. Provenance: A few plates with early manuscript annotations, "Map of the County of Hamilton" with three place-names erased. "A LANDMARK DOCUMENT THAT CONSTITUTES ONE OF THE MOST PRECISE CARTOGRAPHIC RECORDS OF THE STATE" (Short) First edition, with all of the maps dated 1829, and rare in any condition. "The Atlas of the State of New York was published in 1830 [although it bears the date 1829]. It was the second state atlas produced in the United States; the very first was the 1825 "Atlas of the State of South Carolina" produced by Robert Mills. Although [Surveyor General Simeon] DeWitt provided information and sponsorship and put his powerful influence behind the project, the producer of the atlas was David Burr (1803-1875).The Burr "Atlas" is a landmark document that constitutes one of the most precise cartographic records of the state. It contains a general map of the state, a large plan of New York City, and maps of each county.The Burr "Atlas" marks a major change. The whole state, the major city, each and every county is depicted in a uniform style and scale, with accompanying standardized statistical information and narrative. The state is given shape and form and substance in the atlas. All the counties are now joined together, a civil union is complete, all the land is subdivided, the marks of progress are recorded and celebrated.
