This complete French atlas contains 59 maps, including 41 double page and 18 single page maps. The celestial plates and a few others are uncolored, but the majority are in original outline color. The maps are dated 1846 to 1860. The map of North America is dated 1856 but clearly shows pre-Fremont mapping in the west. The entire southwest and Texas is a region labeled as "Forests." Folio, tan paper covered boards with black cloth spine.
