DESCRIPTION

Annual Report of the Superintendent, Coast and Geodetic Survey to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

The report(s) and maps are formerly of the British Admiralty Library's collection.  Numerous fold-out maps and/or charts.

This set is important as it contains a large number of thick-paper inserts showing the methods and standards for the new topographic elements of modern cartography. These are very interesting to cartographers.
