Plan of the City of Washington

Philadelphia, 1870. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 14 1/2"x 11". Slight toning and aging, overall bright and clear and in very good shape. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is an attractive single page map of Washington from the 1870 installment of that atlas. Ristow 311-313 (Inventory #: 101091)
