Stafford, Wm. C. (William C.), TAYLOR, William Cooke - and MACKAY (Charles) · 1849 · 54 pictures

A three-volume system of modern geography by William Cooke Taylor, Charles Mackay and William C. Stafford, published in London in 1849 for general readers and schools. Steel engravings after topographical artists give wide, pale landscape views: harbours crowded with small sailing craft, river valleys with ox-wagons, African village clusters, and ruins on open shorelines, useful for soft-toned horizon scenery and period shipping.
