Beschreibung

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, double page, 24" x17". Slight toning and aging; otherwise bright and clean and in very nice condition. Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884) appears to have entered the map publishing business in 1860. It appears that he obtained J.H. Colton's map copyrights, and published the first installment of the Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas In that year. Many of the maps Johnson would use would bear the J.H. Colton copyright for many years. Johnson's Atlas would run from 1860 to 1885. While Johnson would use somewhat similar boarder designs, map coloring would appear a little heavier than the earlier Colton maps. This double page map of China and Japan is from the 1870 edition of Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas. The color is nice, and there is substantial detail on China. Also includes a small inset map of Canton and Hong Kong. Ristow 325-326. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 101167
