Map of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas

Philadelphia, 1861. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 14"x 11". Slight toning and aging, a few small holes in the outer margin; bright and clear, and in otherwise 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 colorful map of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas from the 1861 installment of that atlas. Good detail, and a fairly early map from this series. Ristow 311-313 (Inventory #: 101038)
