Johnsons North and South Carolina’
In stock
Near the forefront of the atlas publication industry for a quartercentury was mapmaker and aggressive marketer Alvin Jewitt Johnson. Around 1860, in a transaction that remains somewhatmysterious, 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. This double page map illustrates the states of North and South Carolina, with an inset map of the Plan of Charleston, vicinity and harbor. Counties, cities, towns, rail roads, common roads, rivers, creeks and lakes are noted. Fantastic detailing and coloring!’
