This item is a vintage old 1885 Tunison's Peerless Universal World Atlas, published by H.C. Tunison, with the atlas in complete, but worn condition. Each of these old atlases that we have found have been worn, and this one is no different in that respect. The wear on this atlas is on the outside (cover has been taped onto the binding), and while t are a few smudges on the interior pages, the interior pages and maps are in generally very good to excellent condition. The pages are all tight in the binding, and that has allowed the page edges to avoid fraying. While I am not sure, it appears that the maps have been hand colored, but others will likely know better than I on that aspect of the atlas (the colored lines seem to have some variation, as one might expect from hand coloring). The two hemisp maps on pages 8 & 9, both have neat vignettes in the corners, and some of the other maps (some countries) have statistics inserted into charts within the maps. The double page maps are tab-mounted, so that the maps can be removed in one piece intact, should the new owner so desire. Some of the state maps are printed back to back, and some are printed with text on the back; the state maps are grouped by region, so that t are more text pages between the maps to make this possible. Indian Territory (Oklahoma) is printed on a double page map
