A complete atlas missing the front cover and title page. Sixty maps plus diagrams, list of maps, and reference table of cities and counties. All maps feature Mitchell's decorative grapevine style border and fine hand coloring. Should be considered a collection of maps, however they are all still bound together and can be easily reestablished as an atlas with the addition of a cover, frontis and title page.
