Hughes, William F. The Student's Atlas of Ancient & Modern Geography, with a Copious Consulting Index
London Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Hardcover Good
Hardcover, page size is 6 1/2 by 10 5/8 inches. Maps are in full color and generally 2 pages with a crease (but no threads in the middle). Maps include: Western Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, World on Mercator's Projection, British Empire, Europe, and so forth. Individual maps of most European countries. The number of maps is listed as 40, a bit misleading as New Zealand is 27a, and 1 page maps of Morocco and Cape Colony are 28* (the full map of Africa is 28). So there are actually more. Nothing is dated, but map of Africa shows colonies on the coast and many tribal areas in the interior (Ashantee and Haussa) not yet colonized. The German Empire includes Alsace and Lorraine. Brown cloth covers suggest a date of 1870s. All plates are present. Covers are disbound, spine missing. Title page and first 2 maps loose, and are laid in. Previous owner name in pencil. GOOD only.
