YAGGY’S GEOGRAPHICAL ATLAS
Yaggy’s Geographical Study Comprising Physical Political Geological and Astronomical Geography. Composed by Levi Walter Yaggy. Chicago: Western Publishing House, 1887. Atlas folio, chromolithographed title with large vignette of the world, two chromolithographed plates (one double-page, one mounted as a front endpaper with three large overslips), one celestial chart mounted on card with five flaps opening to reveal opaque sections (two of these with moveable parts), seven double-page maps (two hemispheric world maps, and five maps of the continents), one hand-colored plaster-of-Paris relief map of the United States built into the rear endpaper, original cloth-covered wooden carrying case, with flaps and leather ties. First edition. An exceptionally rare children’s teaching aid and an important example of grand-scale color lithography in American printing history, including a rare hand-
painted relief map of the United States and one of the largest color plates ever produced. Constructed under the supervision of the American cartographer Henry Gannett, Yaggy’s extraordinary atlas provided students with a hands-on experiential geography lesson: levers move and flaps lift up to reveal sections of the continents, layers of the earth’s crust, parts of the solar system (rotation of the planets, phases of the moon, constellations, etc.); large-scale maps made especially “for class work” have dots for teachers to direct their pointers to specific cities and points of interest, and the impressive large relief map at the end.

(MAPS)

A few tears to the maps and title page; lacking one of the metal levers for the astronomical chart, a 1-inch portion of the relief map (not a relief portion, southern Texas) has come detached, and there is some wear to the case. However, all of the flaps remain intact along with the original leather straps of the carrying case, and the lithography is still in excellent condition with very bright coloring. $2,000-4,000

The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.
