In den WarenkorbSoftcover. Zustand: g+ to near fine. Reprint. Large elephant folio. [2] 28pp. Half red cloth over illustrated tan paper wrappers, with black lettering on the front cover. This work is a full and finely produced facsimile reprint of the incredibly scarce "English Atlas," originally created and published by Moses Pitt (c. 16391697…), in Oxford 1680. Only the first volume of the set is reprinted here, focusing on Northern regions including Russian, Poland and Scandinavia. Originally Pitt had intended to issue a 12 volume set, all under the auspices of the Royal Society, but ultimately only was able to issue 4 volumes before the project collapsed due to financial difficulties. The work contains 4 detailed fold-out maps each measuring 23x22", showing Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Western areas of Russia during the period. Text throughout printed in a two-column format. Introductory text at the front of the reprint, discussing the history of the work. Wrappers with some age toning to the covers, as well as some light rubbing to extremities. Top right corner of cover lightly chipped and a stain at the bottom right. A few light abrasions. Wrappers in good+, interior in near fine condition overall.
