MEXICO CITY] GARCÍA CONDE, DIEGO. Plano general de la Ciudad de Mexico ... Engraved by Peter Maverick . New York: 1830. Copper-engraved map of Mexico City on banknote paper, original strong full publisher's color, folded into original bright red leather pocket covers. Neat line to neat line 18 7/8 x 20 7/8 inches (48 x 53 cm). Pocket covers lightly worn, a few neat and unobtrusive repaired separations at folds, the marbled front pastedown with the Ex Libris Mexicanis bookplate of the great ethnographer Frederick Starr and an old private stamp in ink from the studio of a Mexican photographer.
