Description

We are pleased to offer this very rare and impressive original hand colored complete United States  commemorative atlas dated 1939. It is clean, complete and intact. Pictorial maps are increasingly difficult to acquire and this complete atlas shows all the US maps at the time of its publication.  The individual maps show a brief history of the state along with its primary industries in a rather whimsical manner. 

We recently were also able to acquire a very large quantity of Rand McNally and Cram's atlases all from the late 1800's to the early 1900's that we will be offering  in the ensuing weeks/months. This includes the very difficult to acquire the "Indexed" atlases as well as the "Commercial" atlases. Feel free to contact us should you be interested in a "critical mass" purchase of multiple copies. 

Thank you for looking and please be sure and look at our other auctions for other fine works by Audubon from the first as well as the 1860 editions of the Birds Of America. We also have other architectural, natural history plates as well as original maps, all guaranteed original.

 

We do not use the eBay check-out system for invoicing so it is not necessary to email us at auction end. You will receive an email from Paypal letting you know the particular payment options available to you. We will also send you an email summarizing your winning bids along with one combined postal charge. We will email you this summary within 24 hours after the auction's end.

Cirqlar is a SquareTrade seller in good standing and we will do everything we can make this a positive experience for you. We don't hold checks for clearance (we have yet to receive a bad check after over 25,000 transactions!). Again, we will be happy to combine purchases to save on your shipping costs.

News flash! We are now using USPS for our North American shipments. Shipments are easy to track, and, well, frankly we have only lost one singular package out of the tens of thousands of packages we have sent. Good job USPS!

 Please note that we now have (finally, mercifully) a legitimate "about me" section where you can find more information about who we are and what we do as well as more tips on collecting prints and the various types of printing techniques that have been used over the years. In addition, we have hundreds of rare prints and colorplate books, maps and atlases at set prices. We have recently been fortunate enough to acquire, for example,  the original watercolors from Lewin's "Birds of Great Britain". We also have listed several prints from Shaw and Nodder's "The Naturalist's Miscellany", flower prints from Curtis' "Flora Londinensis", P.J. Redoute's "Les Liliacees". Please also check out our ebay listings for some phenomenal Abbeville edition elephant folio restrikes of Audubon's "Birds Of America" which are what many refer to as the preeminent 20th century facsimile edition of this important work. We will be updating this frequently. We are committed to offering the very best antique prints available with over the top superior service.
