All maps dated 1827 except the map of theWest Indies.The only map to bear
Tanner’s name is the large folding map of the United States and Mexico. Swann offered a
similar atlas in the Mark Babinski sale of December 2005 (Sale 2060, lot 46 - $3600)
where most of the maps had Tanner’s name in the imprint line.Those maps were generally
fully colored, while the maps in this earlier edition are colored in outline.
