Johnson's Map of The Animal Kingdom / Productive Industry / Ocean Currents / Meteorology / The Land and co-tidal Lands / The Principal Plants
|
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 map illustrates six different maps of the world showing the animal kingdoms, productive industry, ocean currents and boundaries of river systems, features of meteorology, the land and the co-tidal lines, and the principal plants.

The World in Hemispheres with other projections
|
The Mitchell company was one of the first to try out the new technique of engraving on steel plates experimenting with steel almost 20 years before the rest of the publishing industry. He was printing with steel in the early 1830's; the general switch to steel was approximately 1850. During the early years of the company, Mitchell published mainly maps and travel guides. In 1860, Mitchell started producing "Mitchell's New General Atlas",and Mitchell Sr. retired and turned the business over to his son
of the same name. The New General Atlas was published until 1893. Today Mitchell maps are sought after for their fine engraving, bright coloring, and attention to detail. They are some of the finest maps produced during this time period. This map produced in 1866, has Mitchell's unique floral border, and beautiful hand coloring. This map details the World in Hemispheres. Countries, cities, towns, lakes, rivers, mountains, and transportation routes are noted. Each map was printed on thick paper with vibrant hand color.
