Pub Note:
The first edition. One of the finest American atlases. Original parts bound together, but without the original paper wraps. Part 1 is P4463 (copy 3); Part 2,3,4,&5 is P4462 (copy 2). The various parts have been colored differently, indicating that they were bound together as an atlas after being issued separately. Many of the maps have been trimmed close by the original binder. Tanner updated the maps frequently over the next decade, and issued several editions or compilations of the atlas with the title pages dated 1823 or 1825, but with some of the maps dated as late as 1833. The collation of our five issues shows that no two copies are alike and that the maps were being constantly updated; however the choice of maps for each edition reveals a somewhat haphazard approach with some of the earliest states of a particular map appearing the one of the later atlas editions. A completely revised edition was issued in 1839, with the title page and most of the maps dated 1839 (see P1382). Atlas is bound in half leather marbled paper covered boards with "Tanner's American Atlas" stamped in gilt on a front leather label.
