- Lot Description
Davis, Maj. George B., Perry, Leslie, and Kirkley, Joseph W. Compiled by Capt. Calvin D. Cowles. Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. Washington: GPO, 1891-1895, 3 volumes. Elephant folio, original three-quarter leather binding with dark maroon leather spine and corners over red cloth boards, marbled page edges. All 175 double-page plates called for are present.
Volume I includes Table of Contents, Authorities (Persons Responsible for Maps, Sketches, Etc. Printed in Volumes 1 to 53, Inclusive), Authorities (Names of Commanding Officers... Responsible for the Maps and Sketches...), Index (Maps and Sketches, Etc. Printed in Volumes 1 to 53, Inclusive), Index (Embracing the titles of all Maps, Plans, Sketches, Views, and Illustrations, ...and the names of places mentioned in the Summaries of Military Events in Series I and which also appear in the Atlas). Plates 1-70.
Volume II - Plates 71 - 135-C.
Volume III - Plates 136 - 175.
Unusual to find these intact and in this condition. Boards are a bit rough, but they did their job in protecting the maps within.
Heavy wear to boards, some damage to foot of spine of Vol. 1 (rodent?), but only tabs holding maps were damaged. Maps excellent. Only very minor toning of page edges and where glued to tabs at fold. But the toning is so light, it does not show through to the front of the map. Endpapers with moderate toning. Front board separated from Vol. 1. Vol. 2 also has separated front board. Some damage to lower page edges affecting maps 71-105, but at its worst, does not extend beyond the margin into the map itself. Also damage to lower spine, rear lower corner. None of these affect the maps themselves. Vol. 3 is similar. There is a bit of damage to lower corner of boards, front endpapers and plate 136, but does not extend into the map. Minor "ghosting" on the uniform (172) and flag plates (175) (likely because of the large amount of colored ink used).Condition
