Overall very good condition. The left page of the map of New York has separated and has a tear in the blank margin. The map of New York City has a tear along the top and bottom centerfold. The last eight maps in the atlas have a small puncture in the lower blank margin that does not enter image. Title page shows some scattered foxing and there is isolated foxing throughout, as expected. The covers show some wear and the corners are bumped, but contents are tight.
