Index of Maps. 13 of 15 maps are present; missing are No. 3 (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) and No. 4 (Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island).

The sides feature marbled paper with red leather corner pieces and a mounted red leather label with gilt titling on the front cover. Grey end-papers with a printed label of populations of cities and towns in North and South America pasted to the back end-paper. The leather corner pieces, book corners, and edges show wear. Cloth reinforcement to the inner hinges. Some of the maps show splitting to the upper or lower margin at the folds, generally not affecting the maps. Some light age-related tanning and off-setting is present to the surface of the maps, but in the main they are quite bright and clean. Bookplate of William G. Mather (1857-1951), a Cleveland, Ohio-based book collector and world traveler. The rare 1826 edition lacking two maps (Nos. 3 and 4) as noted above. Weight is 4.5 lbs.

Original 1/2 leather, well worn, particularly at bottom of spine. Bright full color. Title page and contents leaf are detached and chipped at the edges. 15 (of 16) maps, lacks map of North America. New York State map is torn at center and frayed at the fore edge. The Map of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware is split along the center fold and has a piece of the right margin missing, including a very small bit of the neat line at the right. In spite of the flaws, this is a good example of a scarce, and very important 19th century atlas of the United States. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers a00170

A fine example of the scarcest form of this classic American atlas, an atlas where the maps are folded for the convenience of travelers rather than unfolded for library use. Original full soft red leather binding, spine and flap restored and partially replicated. Generally very good condition for this form of folding atlas. The 15 folding maps are all in fine condition. The maps all have full hand coloring. Some maps have small separations or repairs at fold junctions. Finley's American Atlas is a cornerstone for any collection of 19th century American cartography. This folding edition is a superlative example of both this atlas and of the folding atlas form. Phillips 1378. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers a00050

First and only folio edition of one of the most handsome and important American atlases of the early nineteenth century. Anthony Finley published his atlases in the 1820s in direct competition with Henry Tanner, with the maps arranged much the same way and with the same level of skill as Tanner. This atlas was issued by Finley the same year as a pocket issue of the same title, with the two editions very similar in makeup; both editions are rare today. The maps included here are dated 1825 or 1826, and enumerated on the Index leaf, as follows: North America; the United States; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont; Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island; New York; Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware; Virginia and Maryland; North and South Carolina and Georgia; Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; Kentucky and Tennessee; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Part of Michigan Territory; Missouri and the Arkansas Territory; Florida and elevations of mountains (single sheet); the West Indies (single sheet); and South America. The United States map is engraved with a note reading: "The publisher is indebted to the politeness of Major S. H. Long for the use of his documents in the construction of that portion of this Map west of the Mississippi river." It also includes a "Statistical Table" listing the states and territories, their area, population, capitals, and "population of the principal cities and towns." "Finley's 1826 A NEW AMERICAN ATLAS. appears to have been a one-time effort. Most of the atlas maps carry the credit 'Drawn by D.H. Vance,' and all were engraved by J.H. Young. The same plates, with dates and publisher's name changed, were used by S. Augustus Mitchell in 1831 for an atlas published under the same title as Finley's 1826 volume" - Ristow. A rare and early large-format American atlas from one of the most esteemed American mapmakers of the 19th century. RUMSEY 280 (maps dated 1827). PHILLIPS ATLASES 1378. HOWES F140. NMM 485. SABIN 52438. RISTOW, p.270. TOOLEY, p.211. DECKER 38:141 (pocket issue). Title leaf, Index leaf, plus fifteen handcolored folding maps (thirteen double-page maps, with the maps of Florida and the West Indies printed on single sheets) all tipped to stubs. Folio. Original three-quarter red calf and marbled boards, original red calf label on front board lettered and elaborately stamped in gilt. Leather chipped along spine and at corners, but neatly repaired; boards a bit rubbed, stained, and worn. Minor occasional foxing and thumbsoiling, some offsetting on maps. Overall very good.

The rare pocket issue of Finley's seminal atlas, without title-page, as issued, with maps dated 1825-26. The regularly-issued folio edition is also rare, but the pocket issue has evidently survived in a relatively small number of copies, and is not often found in such nice condition. Finley published his atlases in the 1820s in direct competition with Henry Tanner, with the maps arranged much the same way and with the same level of skill as Tanner. This atlas was issued by Finley the same year as his own NEW AMERICAN ATLAS, and they are very similar in makeup, the differences being that the pocket issue has two maps combined on one sheet in the case of Florida and the West Indies; the maps are printed on onionskin paper for easier folding; and, of course, that the maps are folded into the wallet-sized format. The maps included here are enumerated on the Index leaf, as follows: North America; the United States; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont; Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island; New York; Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware; Virginia and Maryland; North and South Carolina and Georgia; Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; Kentucky and Tennessee; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and the Michigan Territory; Missouri and the Arkansas Territory; Florida, elevations of mountains, and the West Indies (two maps on one sheet); and South America. The United States map is engraved with a note reading: "The publisher is indebted to the politeness of Major S. H. Long for the use of his documents in the construction of that portion of this Map west of the Mississippi river." It also includes a diagram of the "Comparative Elevation of the Principal Mountains Cities &c. in North & South America," marking active volcanoes.

Original red morocco wallet-style binding, flap stamped in gilt, "Finley's American Atlas Sold by John Grigg" and his address. Binding rubbed and edgeworn, spine and flap ends neatly repaired. Several maps with neat, expert repairs along the folds, mending closed tears, a few short unrepaired splits at cross-folds. Minor foxing, some staining on the New York map. Very good.
