This is an approximately 9x12-inch book of more than 30 maps published in 1851 by the United States Coast Survey. These exquisitely detailed maps are printed using an electrotype process that is proudly described in the last drawing in the book. Each map in this book is intact, although some have tears, and others are cracked at the hard creases. Each shows some portion of the American coastline, primarily harbors and shipping lanes marking the location of islands and shoals to aid safe seafaring. The front and back covers are attached but the entire volume is in excellent condition for a 168-year-old publication. State: City: Date: 1851
