Johnsons Map of New York and Adjacent Cities’

Near the forefront of the atlas publication industry for a quarter century was mapmaker and aggressive marketer Alvin Jewitt Johnson. Around 1860, in a transaction that remains somewhat mysterious, Johnson acquired a set of detailed plates from J.H.Colton, one of the foremost mapmakers of the century, and used them to print the Johnson atlas that was to find its way into homes across the country. Johnsons New Illustrated Family Atlas was first published in 1860, and today these maps have become prized collectibles and true works of cartographic art. The attention to detail and fine hand coloring of these maps make them some of the best collectibles maps from the 19th century. Detailed plan of New York City dated 1864. Map shows all streets, parks, islands (including Ellis and Governors), The Battery and many other features. Map also shows a nice plan of Central park. Iron scroll border and hand coloring complement this fine map.
