Note
The first great atlas of Mexico, produced by a Mexican and printed in Mexico. Sabin says only 300 copies were printed. The maps are of each province, with each surrounded by text. Phillips lists two later editions of 1886 with somewhat different titles. The only atlas of Mexico listed by Phillips that is earlier than this atlas is Humboldt's Atlas...de la Nouvelle Espagne of 1811. Has two very interesting plates at the end that relate to Aztec writing. Garcia Cubas was 26 when he published this. Strangely, then, the verso of the title page has 1846 as the copyright date (when the author was 14?). Maps hand col. with outline color. Atlas is bound in quarter leather brown marbled paper covered boards with title embossed in gold on the spine reading "Garcia y Cubas. Atlas geografico de la Republica Mexicana."

Note
Felix Belly was the most prominent proponent of a canal through Nicaragua. This book and beautiful map is a promotion for his scheme, which never achieved success during his time, yet was still being promoted well into the twentieth century. The full color map, 64x92, is a stunning example of early chromolithography, and is titled "Carte D'Etude Dressee Par Mr. Thome Gamond Pour Servir A L'Avant-Project Du Canal Interoceanique De Nicaragua..." The inset map is titled "Carte L'Amerique Centrale..." Along the bottom of the main map is a profile of the canal. The book is an inscribed presentation copy from Belly to a "Monsieur Mason." Bound with quarter cloth boards. Title printed on the paper covers.
