Map Collectors' Circle contains what is still the broadest reaching series of cartographic bibliographies. The series was initiated, edited, and published by the most highly regarded map expert of the 20th Century, Mr. Ronald V. Tooley.

This lot includes five volumes compiled by R. A. Skelton on county atlases of the British Isles published from 1579-1850. Together, the five volumes list 124 atlases and include three appendices with corrections and additions, maps of the British Isles in early general atlases, and a description and bibliography of the London map trade prior to 1700.
