Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, complete copy of The Literary Digest Atlas of the World and Gazetteer from 1929. Published by the famous Funk & Wagnalls Company, this antique volume serves as an incredible historical time capsule of the world just before the dawn of the 1930s.
It contains fascinating period-accurate details, including early commercial air route maps, individual U.S. state maps, Canadian provinces, and a comprehensive world index listing historical boundaries (such as Ethiopia listed as Abyssinia).
Condition Details:
- Cover & Spine: Bound in the original deep blue textured cloth with bright, legible gilt gold lettering on both the front cover and the spine. The spine is tight and structurally sound. Minor scuffing and light shelf wear on the edges consistent with its 95+ year age.
- Interior Pages: Clean, crisp, and fully intact. The double-page color maps (including a fantastic polar projection of Antarctica) are vibrant and free of major tears or heavy foxing. No significant writing or heavy markings observed.
Please review all provided photos to view the exact condition of the spine, covers, and interior pages.
