Map of Asia
1865 · Philadelphia
by Mitchell, Samuel Augustus Jr
Philadelphia, 1865. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative border, 14"x 11". Slight toning and aging, a little minor staining or soling in left margin; 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 colored map of Asia from the 1865 installment of that atlas. The map features China, Hindostan, Turkestan, Persia, and part of Arabia. Ristow 311-313 (Inventory #: 101007)
