THE 1848 ATLAS.

(Available Spring 2007)

The 29 coloured plates of illustrations are quite large, almost the modern-day double-crown or poster size, each measuring 66cm by 56cm, or 26” by 22”. They are capable of being blown-up to make a sizeable wall-chart. This Atlas is not political, but more geographical, or

‘Natural Phenomena’, as the publishers called it. If you want countries and political boundaries, see the next Atlas, of 1834, in Part 3. Prices on Application, from £60.00. >

It must be clearly understood that once images have been ordered, then put onto a CD or DVD, and the disc handed over or despatched, then every image must be paid for.
