About This Item
Philadelphia: Desilver, Charles, 1856. unbound. Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Image measures 11 3/4" x 15 1/4"<br/> <br/> Classic map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island divided into counties. Shows towns, major routes, railroads, waterways, and topographical features. An inset in the lower left features a plan of Boston, with streets, bridges, railroads, and major landmarks labeled. A statistical table in the upper right lists populations by county. In very good condition, with some toning to the left margin, and minor chips and tears to edges, not affecting the image. From the "New Universal Atlas". The plate was originally published by Samuel Augustus Mitchell, who sold the copyright to Thomas, Cowperthwait & Company in 1850, which was in turn bought by Charles Desilver in 1856. <br> <br> Charles Desilver (fl. 1856-1862) was a Philadelphia based map publisher active in the mid 19th century. He purchased the copyright for Mitchell's 'New Universal Atlas', publishing his own editions in 1856 and 1857. The maps from these editions were updated with the most recent information, especially related to roads, canals, and railways.<br/> <br/>
