Johnson's New Chart of National Emblems
|
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. Johnson's 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 double page illustrates national emblems, and signals for pilots. Great detail and coloring!
