First Edition. First printing. Folio (40cm x 37cm; ca 16" x 14-1/2"). Original marbled paper-covered boards, re-spined and recornered to style; new endpapers; early owner's inserted stenciled half-title ("James Mathews / Atlas / April 14 1868"); 72pp. Leaves are printed rectos-only, comprising title-page, 64 hand-colored maps (t…wo folding), a table of distances, and one sheet of statistical & demographic data. A complete, well-preserved copy. The inserted hand-stenciled leaf is somewhat soiled at margins; maps generally clean and fresh with occasional mild marginal foxing. Hand-coloring remains clear and vivid. An excellent Western Pennsylvania atlas, showing townships, railroads, coal seams, etc. in the years immediately following the Civil War. Farmsteads and major houses are identified by resident; business directories are included for most municipalities, even the smallest villages. Uncommon, especially in such attractive condition.
