This special ed. is rare, especially with the views still present. This copy is from the collection of the former Governor of Minnesota, Elmer Andersen. Hand painted and printed in full color. Front and back covers stamped with "Illustrated historical atlas of the State of Minnesota. 1874" in gilt.
