"Republic of Texas" Edition.

A nice example of the 1842 edition of Lizars's Edinburgh Geographical General Atlas, with two maps labeling the "Republic of Texas" within the map image.

Almost all maps from the Republic of Texas period simply label the Republic "Texas" however, Lizars goes one step further in this atlas, choosing instead the full name of the polity. The maps showing the Republic of Texas are 63 ("United States & Texas. With all the Railways & Canals.") and 66 ("Mexico & Guatimala, with the Republic of Texas.")

The atlas is characteristic of Lizars' clean, considered engraving and coloring - qualities which had initially one him the business of producing John James Audubon's Birds of America (before he lost out to Havell's aquatinting capabilities.)

The atlas also includes wall maps of the continents in four sheets.

Lizars first started publishing the atlas in 1826 and continued to do so, with slightly varying titles, through 1842.
