Pub Note:
Huge atlas, many maps and views, scarce. With 340 numbered pages (plus many unnumbered pages) of maps and views this must be the largest State Atlas published (Andreas' Iowa has 250 pages of maps and views). The views show the remarkable development of the state over two decades after the Civil War. Many large folding maps of cities are included. Bound in new burgandy cloth covered boards with "The Official Atlas Of Kansas 1887" stamped in gilt. Maps hand painted in full color.
