Complete atlas with 181 maps, including numerous double-page maps, and 188 pp. of text at the back that define the abbreviations used on the maps.

Of the maps, four are celestial (including a fine view of the moon), two are thematic, and the rest cover the continents, major countries and the polar regions. Hardbound in half leather over green cloth. Gold embossed text on cover and spine.
