Verlag: Erscheinungsdatum: 1864

Near the forefront of the atlas publication industry for a quarter century was mapmaker and aggressive marketer Alvin Jewitt Johnson. Around 1860, in a transaction that remains somewhat mysterious, Johnson acquired a set of detailed plates from J.H. Colton, one of the foremost mapmakers of the century, and used them to print the Johnson atlas that was to find its way into homes across the country. Johnsons New Illustrated Family Atlas was first published in 1860, and today these maps have become prized collectibles and true works of cartographic art. The attention to detail and fine hand coloring of these maps make them some of the best collectibles maps from the 19th century. This signal page map illustrates the states of Nebraska Dakota, Colorado Idaho and Kansas. Note that Dakota is unsplit into north and south, and Idaho Territory occupies what is present day Wyoming and Montana. Map details western forts, cities and towns, lakes and rivers, wagon trails, railroads and proposed railroads, and Capt. Gunnison's exploration route. This map is framed with a decorative wooden frame with matting and an inner framed with a fillet and marble paper. All Art Source framing use archival materials including acid-free mat board and UVA protective glass.This map measures 27 inches by 30 inches. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 62934
