EARLY PRINTING OF EWING'S GENERAL ATLAS. Now scarce as a complete book, many copies have been broken up with the maps sold separately. The maps have been handcoloured and are preserved very well. A double-page world map is presented first and then the maps of the countries of European countries and Russia, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. The U.S. map is quite interesting in that it includes only the states and territories recognized at the time of publication. The country is show bordering the Atlantic on the East, but extending only into the Missouri Territory and Arkansas in the west.
