Map of the World in Hemispheres.
1869. · Philadelphia:
by Mitchell, Samuel Augustus Jr
Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 14" x 11". Slight toning, darkening and aging, bottom margin narrow, upper margin with a few edge chips, and a little rough; still fairly bright and clean and in very good condition. 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 hemispheric map of the world from the 1869 installment of that atlas. Ristow 311-313. (Inventory #: 106105)
