Title page from the 1874 "An Illustrated Historical Atlas of Elkhart Co. Indiana." At center is an illustration of surveyors with equipment and a man drawing on a board.

Another great atlas title page from the collection I'm working with! This one's illustration shows part of the process of creating the maps that appear in these 19th century county atlases.

Title Page from the 1878 "Official and Historical Atlas Map of Alameda County, California" by Thompson & West. The title of the atlas is at the top of the page, the publisher information at the bottom. At center is an illustration of an open atlas resting on a pile of closed atlases, cartography tools, and rolled maps.

Inside this atlas is an illustration of an atlas on a pile of atlases - I love a good atlas title page!
