Note:
Not an Annual Report! Unique edition-all engraved. A set of most of the Coast Survey maps published to July 1854, and all are engraved instead of lithographed as were the maps in the annual reports. Each map has the unique inscription at the top reading "Presented under authority of an act of Congress of the United States of June 3d 1844 by direction of the Treasury Department A.D. Bache Superintendent Coast Survey." U.S. Atlases lists another edition (L3666) of 1856. Bound with half leather and marble paper covered boards with title in gilt on spine. David Rumsey Collection copy: the chart "Sea Coast of Delaware, Maryland and part of Virginia" is lithographed rather than engraved. Laid in is a broadside published by the Survey "Coast Survey charts published, sketches and preliminary charts, the following sketches will be gratuitously distributed:, Agents for sale of maps:, Coast Survey Office, Washington, March 15, 1853" (our pub. list no. 5754).
