About This Item
New York: Sterling Publishing House, Co., Inc, 1960. Unbound. Very Good. Portfolio. Color facsimiles of 36 historical maps. Each map measures approximately 12" x 9", printed on 17" x 11½" paper with descriptive text in the left margin. Housed with a title page sheet and unprinted top sheet in a four-fold chemise. Unprinted topsheet sunned at the edges, first two leaves with some very light toning and a couple of tiny corner creases; the maps are otherwise bright and fine. The chemise is good only with toning, wear, and soil, and a 1" creased tear on the cover panel. A nice production, and the chemise has done its job, keeping the maps bright and fresh.
