Mitchell - Map of the City of Washington (Washington, DC)
This originally hand-colored, lithographed maps is from Samuel Augustus Mitchell's A New Universal Atlas Containing Maps of the various Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republics of the World.. The work was published in in Philadelphia in 1854 by Cowperthwait, Desilver, & Butler.
Samuel Augustus Mitchell (1792-1868) and his sons were leading map publishers in the United States in the 19th century. Mitchell moved to Philadelphia c1830 in the hopes to improve geography textbooks and American cartographical information. He acquired the rights to Tanner's New Universal Atlas (first published in 1836), and issued his first printing of the work in 1846.
The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
