New York: Thayer, Bridgeman & Fanning, 1856. Linen. Very good. 36 1/2 x 35 inches. Hand-colored engraved map laquered and linen backed. Margins frayed, some creasing and fading. Lower left corner portrays the West Indies with Population of the United States 1850 middle right. New York had three million plus residents. A review of Atwood's work suggests that he was a highly accomplished, stylistically distinct, and detail oriented engraver. Colton seems to have turned to Atwood to engrave some of his most important as well as decorative maps.
