Mexico. Imprenta de Jose Mariano Fernandez de Lara, calle de la Palma numero 4. 1858. Publication Author: Garcia Cubas, Antonio, 1832-1912 Publication Date: 1858 Publication Reference: Phillips, 2683; Phillips. Maps of America, p. 412; Sabin, 26554. Publication 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."
