Lake, Griffing & Stevenson

Edité par Lake, Griffing & Stevenson, Philadelphia, 1877

Hardcover. A good copy of this uncommon atlas, which is partially disbound with both boards detached, but present. This atlas may be of particular interest to researchers and historians as it lists the landowners as well as many of the local businesses and business owners. Includes a table of distances in the county, population charts for Carroll County, Maryland, and the USA (based on census data), a patron's directory, and several pages of "views" around the County such as the Western Maryland College Campus. Most of the textblock remains in one piece; however, the title page and four rear maps including the map of U.S.A., Maryland, Baltimore, and hemispheres have come loose from the text block and and are laid in. Heavy chipping to the edges of the title page and loose maps. Several of the loose maps have split along the fold. The bulk of the maps though - all pertaining to Carroll County, Maryland - remain bound and intact with only minor chipping to page edges. A few bound in maps have closed tears along the spine fold. Occasional spots of soiling, occasional red pencil markings, and occasional spots from drips of water, but clean overall. All maps are present. The boards are covered in the original dark blue cloth with gilt title to front board and embossed border. Remnants of the original black leather spine are attached to the edges of the boards. Heavy wear to corners and edges of boards. Ex-library with a bookplate to front pastedown. A folio measuring 16.75 x 14 inches. 48 pages plus 4 maps. MD/122723. N° de réf. du vendeur 36973
