Modern calf-backed cloth preserving old patterned endpapers. A little known Homann atlas including his world map and the four continents. Among the additional maps are M.A. Lotter’s Mappemonde (Augsburg, 1778), which is both double-page and folding (soiling and staining mainly marginal), and Carte nouvelle de l’Amerique Angloise (cartouche somewhat affected by damp and with underlining in coloured crayon). A small Faden map of North America, Die Vereinigten Staaten von Nord America [1783 or later], is tipped onto the larger one. T.C. Lotter’s contributions include the Carte de l’Ocean Pacifique au Nord de l’Equateur (Augsburg, c. 1781), a plan of Berlin, and three plates showing mileage distances, celestial globes and armillary spheres.
