This is a less common later edition of Johnson's atlas with the newly engraved maps featuring lace-like borders. In addition to the normal complement of maps, this atlas contains several colorful thematic maps and charts by Arnold Guyot. It also contains the Civil War "Map of the Vicinity of Richmond and Peninsular Campaign in Virginia;" double-page plans of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City; a nice double-page map of Texas; and the large "California, also Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona" map. Complete with all called-for maps and including two maps that are not listed: Philadelphia, and Kansas and Nebraska. In all there are 59 double-page and six single-page sheets and a frontispiece of the U.S. Capitol. Hardbound in original cloth with embossed gilt on cover and spine.
