    Description

    You're bidding on the New England Homestead Universal Atlas of the World and the Panama Canal - published circa 1913 for the Orange Judd Company. Orange Judd appears to have been the publisher, at the time, of New England Homestead, a regional magazine focused on rural and agricultural life, which debuted in 1842 and lasted into the 1960s.
    The atlas appears to capitalize on the excitement around the Panama Canal, which would open in 1914 and revolutionize trade and travel in the Western Hemisphere. Atlas is paperbound, 12 pages plus content on the inside and outside of the cover - fairly large format at 18 3/4" X 24". Several nice period color maps as well as gazetteer type info, including a detail of the Canal Zone, double page world map, US, Canada, and New England.
    Note some condition issues - mainly, some foxing/soil along the inside seam, most noticeable between front cover and first page, and between the two pages of the New England section. Some edge bumping and small tears, but note a large horizontal tear into the map from open-side edge affecting the Canada map, and Maine on the other side. SOLD AS IS AS FOUND.
    An unusual find, though, and retains nice color. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
