Map of Chicago
1882 · Philadelphia
by Mitchell, Samuel Augustus Jr
Philadelphia: Bradley, 1882. Unbound, colored engraved map, 23"x 15". Slight toning and aging, a little staining or soiling in the margins, a few chips at edge; still rather 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 a nice colorful double page map of Chicago from the 1882 installment of this atlas. The map includes Chicago street guide in the lower portion of the map. Ristow 311-313 Phillips 907 (Inventory #: 101016)
