WALKER'S UNIVERSAL ATLAS, FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS London, Barnard (pubs.) 1823 This is a fabulous old book of maps, I believe first published in 1806. The hard cover is marbled, and the binding is coming slightly loose at the front. The maps are in excellent condition. As you can see from the frontispiece, this book was originally published for use in schools. There are 28 maps, which, I have read`elsewhere, are coloured in watercolour (I cannot vouch for the truth of this). However, a brief search of the internet will show you that a single map from this book is on sale for in the vicinity of $150.00 The list of contents is as follows: 1.World 2.Europe 3.Asia 4.Africa 5.North America 6.South America 7.England and Wales 8. Scotland 9.Ireland 10.France 11. Austrian Dominions 12. Prussia 13. Kingdom of the Netherlands 14. Poland 15. Sweden, Norway and Finland 16.Denmark 17.Russia 18.Central Asia 19.Germany 20.Swisserland 21.Spain and Portugal 22.Italy 23.Turkey in Europe and Hungary 24.United States of North America (shown above) 25.Hindoostan (sic) 26. West Indies 27.Mercator's Chart of the World 28. The Holy Land (shown above) Each map is fascinating: I could have split the book and sold these separately but I believe in the integrity of this rare book. Worldwide delivery is possible. Postage and Packing in Australia will be 4 dollars. |
