The atlas portion contains regional charts of the lands and sea coasts of the world, including America and the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and Far East, the coasts of Asia and Africa, the Black Sea and Mediterranean, South America to the Strait of Magellan, and a world map in two hemispheres. A fine and fresh copy of an impressive production. Barker 244.
