The Handy Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, Exhibiting the Present Condition of Geographical Discovery and Research in the Several Countries, Empires, and States of the World. By the Late Alexander Keith Johnston, with Additions and Corrections to the Present Date by G.H. Johnston.

Published by W. & A.K. Johnston, Limited, Edinburgh and London, 1908.

A substantial early 20th Century atlas with an impressive collection of double-page colour plates - frontispiece plate plus 51 additional plates with the German one having a fold-out flap.

A very good copy with plates which are nice and clean and free of spotting. Hardback with its  original covers, with maroon leather spine with raised bands, and leather corners, and with gilt decoration and titles, including the emblem of the Prince of Wales.

Red cloth over boards. Covers bumped and scuffed. Patterned endpapers with red cloth strengthening to inner hinge (probably as issued). Soundly bound overall with one plate detached, but present (No. 5).

The text and plates are in very good condition, and are well produced with impressive detail. Gilt edges to text block. No spotting - just light age toning and occasional usage marks to page edges.

Comprehensive index at rear. An impressive tome.

Text in English.
