Atlas of the City of Toronto and Vicinity. From Special Survey Founded on Registered Plans and Showing All Buildings and Lot Numbers.
London. Montreal, Toronto: Charles E. Goad, 1890. Hardcover. Very Good. Item #49317
Folio. Pp. [vi], 50 maps. Rebacked in half burgundy morocco, preserving the original cloth boards laid down; new endpapers. Title-page lightly age-toned at edges, with similar toning to the index and first map. The first map depicts Toronto from Dufferin Street to Davenport Road, Pape Avenue to the east, and the Harbour to the south. Complete with 50 maps as issued in this second edition. A remarkably clean and bright example-by far the finest Goad Toronto atlas we have handled-free from the usual pasted-on corrections, updates, or alterations to the city's streets and blocks. Minor condition notes: neat corner repairs to Plates 8, 12, 16, and 26; two faint ink splashes on Plate 9; several small marginal repairs along lower edges; and a few pages with light, easily erasable pencil notations. Each plate is tab-mounted (none backed on linen). An excellent and desirable copy of this important Toronto atlas, uncommon in such original and well-preserved condition. Most surviving examples are found heavily used, updated with pasted corrections, mounted on linen, or incomplete-this copy is notably superior. Second edition.
