14 x 11 3/4 inches. Condition: Very Good. Multiple states on one sheet. North Carolina and SouthCarolina are oriented in one direction with Florida rotated 90 degrees. Beautiful outline color presents the states vividly. south Carolina has an inset map of Charleston Harbor. This was designed for inclusion in Mitchell's General Atlas. The use of three maps on one sheet probably has to do with the potential sale of the atlas being small in those states on this map. Post Civil War reconstruction would have found the general populace short on discretionary income. Seller Inventory # 317

County Map of Florida [and Mobile, Alabama] - Florida and Mobile, Alabama shortly after the American Civil War.
Used
Seller: Curtis Wright Maps, Berwyn, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Fine. This interesting map of Florida was published in Philadelphia in 1872 by Samuel Augustus Mitchell. It shows a detailed overview of the Sunshine State during the Reconstruction Era. The general progress by which Florida was settled and developed during the 19th century is clearly evident within the image. Settlement density and transportation routes are robust within the panhandle, but as one travels south the county configurations become larger and towns significantly more scarce. Geographic features dominate the landscape, especially swampland, and annotations reference mangrove and pine woods, Indian hunting grounds, and other exotic features. The locations of several forts and one battlefield are noted, harkening back to earlier conflicts with local Native American tribes. An inset map in the lower left offers a street plan of Mobile, Alabama, colored by wards. Labeled locations of interest include hotels, the courthouse, transportation depots, and the customs house. The port city was one of the largest and most important in the region in the years following the Civil War. Samuel Augustus Mitchell was one of the most prominent American mapmakers of the 19th century and initially got involved with cartography as a school teacher who was frustrated with the quality of available maps. He collaborated with skilled engravers and produced high-quality maps and atlases that contained the most up-to-date information available. This attention to detail, combined with his tremendous publication output, made him and his successors one of the most influential cartographic firms of the era. Sheet Width (in) 15.25 Sheet Height (in) 12.1 Condition Description Moderate toning and scattered wear visible in the margins, including numerous small tears.

He collaborated with skilled engravers and produced high-quality maps and atlases that contained the most up-to-date information available. Mitchell's son would take over the business after his death in 1860 and continue the tremendous output. His attention to detail is evident within the image, which provides an informative snapshot of the Sunshine State in the midst of the Gilded Age. Counties are colored in a distinctive hue and finely engraved lines label an interesting variety of place names, battle sites, geographic features, and other locations of interest. A limited number of railroads are shown in operation and the massive Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp are depicted pictorially. An inset map in the lower right presents a city plan of Mobile, Alabama, an important commercial center on Mobile Bay that was suffering through a period of economic depression at the time of publication Sheet Width (in) 15.1 Sheet Height (in) 11.9 Condition Description Trimmed upper margin and light toning around the edges of the sheet.

13 3/8 x 10 1/8 inches. Condition: Very good. Mitchell presented Florida in the context of settlement geography and consequently the inset of Mobile was included. This is a lithograph printed in black and white and hand colored at the time of publication. Because of the maritime surveys the coastal areas of Florida were able to be shown with a good degree of accuracy. Adjacent states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana have been included in their lower extremities. The inset of Mobile occupies the Gulf of Mexico. Seller Inventory # 291

The Mitchell Company was one of the first to experiment with steel plate engraving techniques, doing so nearly 20 years before the rest of the publishing industry. Mitchell was printing with steel in the early 1830's, though the industry at large did not switch to steel until about 1850. During the early years of the company, Mitchell published mainly maps and travel guides. In 1860, he started producing "Mitchell's New General Atlas", and Mitchell Sr. retired and turned the business over to his son of the same name. "The New General Atlas" was published until 1893. Today Mitchell maps are sought after for their fine engraving, bright coloring, and attention to detail. They are some of the finest maps produced in the 1860's. This map, produced in 1864, shows Mitchell's famous floral border, which is only seen in the early editions of his atlases. This map shows Michigan and Wisconsin and details railroads, proposed railroads, cities, towns, rivers, mountains, Native American tribes, wagon trails, forts and counties. This map measures 11.5 by 11 1/2 x 14 inches. Seller Inventory # 66287
