About This Item
Des Moines: The Anderson Publishing Co, 1926. Hardcover. Folio. Burgundy blind-embossed leatherette. 43pp, (3pp ads), (2pp), 122pp, xxi. Extensive full-page color maps, illustrations. Good plus overall. Mild binding edgewear, with spine a bit rough (mainly at head/tail); inner hinges strengthened with old but neat and expert black cloth reinforcement; front flyleaf outer edge worn but expertly, archivally mended, with rest of text block tight and nice. Fairly attractive and handlable atlas of this small east central Iowa county whose county seat is Toledo. Numerous large, detailed township maps all bright and lovely. First quarter consists of the Marshall County atlas, the remainder (called "Volume II") an "Atlas of the World (Latest Federal Census Edition)... Profusely Illustrated by George Wharton James and Alan H. Burgoyne." These relatively recent county atlases are rather uncommon and difficult to find in decent condition.
