"Thomas Jeffrey's 'American Atlas' was one of the earliest extensive collections of maps of North America and was published in London in 1776. This facsimile, issued on the occasion of the American Bicentennial, 1976, is a celebration of the Declaration of Independence and also a tribute to the skill of the early cartographers who first charted the American continent." "This commemorative edition is unconditionally limited to 200 copies," of which this copy is unnumbered." ("American Atlas," limitation page)
