This composite atlas contains 36 (of 48) maps from Swanston & Fullarton's Companion Atlas to the Gazetteer of the World. 35 of the 36 maps are double-page (Japan is single-page), all are on sturdy paper with blank versos, and feature contemporary outline color. Geographically, there are maps of the world (3), Europe (18), Asia (4), Africa (1), Australia (2), and the Americas (8). Of particular interest is the double-hemisphere world map that features an elaborate comparative view of principal mountains at bottom. The map focuses on rivers and includes a broken outline of Antarctica. In addition to the comparative mountain view, the basins of the most important rivers flank the map, including the Amazon, La Plata, Rhine, Danube, Volga, Indus, Ganges, Yenesei, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers. Also of interest are the 5 maps of the United States, including the 4 regional maps dividing the country into quadrants as well as the double-page map of the entire nation. This latter map features the largest configurations of Oregon, Utah and New Mexico territories along with an oversized Nebraska Territory spanning from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains. The Texas panhandle spans north to the Arkansas River, crossing well into present-day Colorado (a surprising feature given the publication date). No title page. Hardbound in half leather over cloth boards. The full list of maps are below.
