Large Hardcover Book, folio 15x18 inches (38x45 cm), 293 pages. Complete with ALL its maps and plates

FULLY ILLUSTRATED with 119 lithographed maps (116 in color), and many plates of views, scenes and portraits. This amazing and comprehensive collection of maps depicts every county in the state, and the lithographed plates show notable farms, residences, scenes, people, etc.

Condition: The original covers are well worn, rubbed and scraped, most heavily along the edges, spine folds, and spine; the covers are almost loose, just barely holding on by the black cloth tape reinforcing the inner hinges (a good pull will remove them). Internally, the last three leaves are creased, the first two only lightly, the last with many heavy creases and chips. Now the good part - The rest of the inner pages, including all the maps and plates, are in great shape, lightly toned as normal, overall bright, clean, clear and unmarked.

A wonderful collection of lovely maps and plates, in covers that could use some loving care.
