2 ORIGINAL 1859 "CORNELL'S OUTLINE MAPS NO 9 & 11.  DRAWN BY G WOOLWORTH COLTON TO ACCOMPANY CORNELL'S SERIES OF SCHOOL GEOGRAPHIES.  D APPLETON & CO NEW YORK." EUROPE WALL MAPS

THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PAIR. THESE CAME WITH THE ORIGINAL ARNOLD GUYOT WALL-ATLAS MAPS I AM ALSO SELLING.  I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY OF THESE PRE CIVIL WAR SCHOOL WALL MAPS.  MADE IN AMERICA, THESE WERE DONE IN 1859 TO HANG IN SCHOOLS TO TEACH THE STUDENTS ABOUT EUROPE.  BOTH MEASURE 26 X 31 INCHES.  NO 11 IS THE COLOR ONE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION.  MAP IS COMPLETE WITH GREAT ORIGINAL COLOR.  THERE IS A BUNCH OF SPOTTING ALL ALONG THE BOTTOM 1/3 OF THE MAP.  ATTACHED TO ITS ORIGINAL CARD BACKING WITH FABRIC SELVAGE.  EDGE SHOWS BUMPS AND TEARS BUT NOTHING TOO BAD.  SOME MINOR WARPING AS WELL.  NO 9 EXHIBITS VERY LITTLE COLOR.  SAME SIZE AND BASIC CONDITION.  THERE IS PAPER LOSS ALONG THE BOTTOM MARGIN AND A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS.  BOTH MAPS WOULD DISPLAY EXCELLENT IF THEY WERE MATTED AND FRAMED.  MAPS WITHIN THE NEATLINE ARE REALLY EXCELLENT EXAMPLES OF EARLY AMERICAN SCHOOL MAPS.
