Map of Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies

Philadelphia: Bradley, 1882. Unbound, colored engraved map, 22 1/2"x 14 1/2". Some toning and aging, a little darkening at fold; otherwise very good. 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 double page map of Central America from the 1882 installment of that atlas. Bermuda, Jamaica, a map of the Panama Railroad, and a map of the proposed Panama Canal route are highlighted within insets. Ristow 311-313 Phillips 907 (Inventory #: 101042)
