First French edition (although some copies have 1808 on the title page). Stamp of Russian Imperial Library at Tsarkoe Selo. This atlas has the important "Carte Generale du Royaume de la Nouvelle Espagne" on two large folio sheets, originally drawn by Humboldt in 1803-4. Arrowsmith and Pike used this map as a base for their maps of Mexico and the southwest. Maps are without color and bound in full brown leather covered boards with "Voyage De Humboldt Et Bonplan. Atlas Geographique Et Physique Du Royaume De La Nouvelle-Espagne." stamped on the spine in black ink.
