Grimsby, O. T. Olsen; London, Taylor and Francis, 1883.
The piscatorial atlas of the North sea, English and St Georges Channels.
Broadside (55 × 45 cm), bradel modern green marbled paper boards, brown title page (modern boards).
First edition of this important fish atlas, containing 50 maps printed in colour, with raised and gummed vignettes.
Olsen's atlas is one of the earliest works devoted to fishing in the North Sea, the English Channel and the St George's Channel. Based on statistical data collected by Olsen over many years, it documents fishing ports, vessels, gear, species caught and, more broadly, the organisation of fisheries.
Soiling, angular restorations to the first two leaves.
