Description
ROESSLER, A. R. (1826-1893).
A. R. Roessler's Latest Map of the State of Texas.
Lithograph with original hand color.
New York: M.V. Mittendorfer, 1874.
39 3/4” x 45 1/4” sheet, 51” x 57” framed.
THE SCARCE FIRST ISSUE OF ROESSLER’S LARGE-FORMAT MAP OF TEXAS. Anton R. Roessler (1826–1893), cartographer and geologist, served in these roles for the Shumard Survey, the first thorough geological and agricultural survey of Texas. His maps are the only printed maps preserving the results of that survey which was scrapped during the Civil War. Indeed Roessler was accused of stealing the Shumard survey data for private use in his own real estate and mining ventures, and their use in his maps make them the most reliable contemporary record of agricultural and mineral wealth in the state.
