Description
Desirable, rare map from the very first printing of S. A. Mitchell Jr’s first atlas in the first couple of months of 1860. Plate number 34, map of Michigan & Wisconsin from S. A. Mitchell Jr’s first printing of his first atlas. Mitchell Jr. took over the map business from his father, publishing his first New General Atlas at the beginning of 1860. However, within a month or two he moved the plate numbers from within the map area to outside the frames, in the process turning them into page numbers. Thus, these rare first printings are easy to identify, yet are rarely available for collectors. Engraved map with unusually bright original hand-coloring and deep ink impression, especially on the distinctive border, the design of which only appears on these early Mitchell maps. Detailed map of the region, colored by counties and showing towns, roads, railroads, proposed railroad routes, rivers, lakes, topography, bays, inlets, other coastal features. A map that is not often available. Small area of paper professionally replaced just outside lower right frame. Repaired tear at top left margin. Some soiling in margin. An elusive map that will not show up in many collections. 10.75 x 13.25
