The engravings were completed by Fielding Lucas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe atlas covered the areas of North America, Central America, South America and the West Indies.  Each map is surrounded by text documenting the history, climate, population of that area.  It is considered an indispensable American atlas and represented the beginning of the hand-colored commercial atlas business in the United States.  It was particularly noted for its early maps of the states and territories of the United States.  Of particular note was Stephen H. Long's map of Arkansa(s) (the American West) as it showed the trans-Mississippi West and the lands of the Louisana Purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765486092362,"sku":"carey-lea013","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/carey-lea013.jpg?v=1782926166","url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/products\/carey-lea013","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
