This vintage multi-volume World Atlas collection was published in 1940 by the Geographical Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois (with earlier copyrights noted for 1937 and 1939). Bound in deep crimson cloth with gold-gilt spine detailing and embossed globe medallions on the front covers, this set provides a fascinating, snapshot-in-time perspective of pre-WWII global geopolitics and cartography. The set includes Volumes I, II, III, VII, and VIII, covering detailed regional sections from US states to international territories.

As a vintage mid-century set, these books show expected shelf wear consistent with age, including edge scuffing, fraying along the spine headers, and light surface rubbing, but they remain sound with crisp interior pages. Perfect as an intellectual display piece for a study, library, or vintage book collection, each book measures 26 cm in length, 18.5 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in depth.
