Description
Designed by Thomas Starling to represent the known world of the 1830s. The imprinted text "Patronized by Her Most Gracious Majesty and Prince Albert," was added to the 1840 edition following Queen Victoria’s ascension to the English crown in 1837. Superb detailing and design craftsmanship. The Cabinet Atlas of Thomas Starling was an outstanding pocket atlas. Printing press by Perkins and Bacon. The map image (on right side of page) is accompanied by a city listing (left side) with specific latitude and longitude positions for the cities. Regions and oceans distinguished by color. Single paged, single sided, and vibrantly colored with intense fold at center of page, indicating the context of two pages originally located in a book. 10 cm. x 17 cm. [Gift of Dr. Jack Franke]
