Thomson virgin (2 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Hardcover with DJ. Burgundy cloth over boards with gold lettering on spine. Black DJ has a cover photograph of the author. The jacket is clean and unmarked, but has an unfortunate slice about 3-4 inches long -- like someone was cutting through a box and snagged the cover. The cut is not open and can barely be detected, but it's something you should know about. Corner's a bit bumped, too. Still looks nice on a shelf. Contents are in very good condition Binding is strong. Pages clean and unmarked. Overall, a very good copy.…

Two separate maps appear on this sheet -- the upper of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and the lower of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Though dated 1815, the maps are from the 1817 edition of Thomson's Atlas. There is considerable detail of the Virgin Islands. Numerous bays and points are named on St. Thomas, a fort is indicated on Virgin Gordo (sic), and "the Bay" and "the Road" are noted on Tortola. Many of the smaller islands in the present-day BVI are identified, including Guana, Peter, Norman, Ginger Coopers, and "the Dead Chest."
