A scarce compilation of maps and printed matter relating to the Canary Isles. COPAC lists just one example of this atlas in the 1825 edition (and another of 1836) stating that it lacks plate 2 of 13. Our example has five plates bound as follows: an uncoloured botanical print "Laurus Foetens" (plate 32 x 43 cm), "Vue Des Montagnes De Tenerife" engraved by J.B.Hossel (plate 21.5 x 25 cm), "Carte Physique De L'Ile De Palma" by Von Buch and engraved by Tardieu (plate 38 x 50.5), "Coupes De L'Isle De Teneriffa" engraved by A.Stounder (plate 68.5 x 21.5 cm), and finally "Carte Physique De L'Ile De Tenerife Levee Sur Les Lieux" by Von Buch in 1814 and engraved here by Tardieu in 1831 with the letter engraving by J.D.Lake. The final map is printed on two sheets and is laid on linen as one to be bound into the atlas. The maps are bound into blue cloth boards with the atlas title, in a floral border, pasted on and with new endpapers. Evidence of a library shelf mark. A scarce, multi-faceted and detailed depiction of these popular islands.
