Item Details
Description
Interesting map of the United States showing county, state and territory boundaries as they existed in 1812. Florida referred to as "Spanish Possessions," and Mississippi Territory extends from Georgia to the Mississippi River. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and “Northwestern” are all shown as Territories. An inset at the lower right shows the United States in 1776 and is colored to show "settled portions." From the 1885 edition of Tunison’s Peerless Universal Atlas of the World. WorldCat lists this atlas as Tunison’s first Peerless Universal Atlas. Tunison's Atlas is a unique and interesting blend of styles, emulating the modern commercial publishers of Chicago (Cram, McNally) on one hand, and the hand-colored look of the still-active older publishers (Colton, Mitchell, etc.). Presented in vivid chromolithographic printing, the color areas are solid and even, much like the hand-colored maps of earlier publishers. This is why Tunison's maps are prized by collectors as excellent examples of a blended late 19th Century printing style. Repaired 1” edge tear plus two other very tiny repaired edge tears. Nearly invisible crease at corner of map. 9.25 x 12.5
