unbound. Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Image measures 11" x 13 7/8" Beautiful city plan of Detroit, Michigan, hand colored to show wards. Streets, notable buildings, parks, and railroads are labeled. The map is in very good condition, with two small closed tears to upper margin, not affecting the image. Samuel Augustus Mitchell Sr. (1792-1868) was one of the leaders in American cartography of the 19th century and pioneered the conversion of engraved map plates to more affordable lithographic plates. His son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. continued his father's successful mapmaking and publishing business, and was one of the most prolific and renowned 19th century American publishers.
