Only edition, 2 vols., small folio and large portfolio, the first pp. 22 with 2 maps in the text, bound in green cloth lettered in gilt on upper cover, and descriptive of the second, with 6 color lithograph maps (4 measuring approx. 25" x 38" overall, and 2 measuring approx. 19" x 25" overall), the portfolio in brown tapa-style decorative paper-covered boards lettered "Covarrubias" in blue on the upper cover, and held in place by a 1/2" dowel, the whole tied with hemp.
