A lovely steel engraved title page from this popular nineteenth century atlas. The title is enclosed in a delicate vine border with male representations of the four continents in each corner. The large scene at center depicts the personae from Europe, Asia, and Africa, a port scene and an early railroad locomotive in the background.

Dark, early impression and very fine hand coloring. A little light foxing in wide margins, well away from image, otherwise a fine example.
