23x28 cm. Removed from Mitchell's General Atlas. Hand color by ward. Wide margins. Discoloration from tape residue into margin at bottom edge, with no impact on printed area. Copyright date is 1860. Number 33 at bottom right. This is an early issue of a plan of New Orleans which was used for many years by Mitchell in his atlases. The date is not clear, but it is from the early 1860's as Mitchell revised the copyright date on this map several times during the time of its use. Seller Inventory # m02354

The Mitchell company was one of the first to try out the new technique of engraving on steel plates, experimenting with steel almost 20 years before the rest of the publishing industry. He was printing with steel in the early 1830s; the general switch to steel engraving was approximately 1850. During the early years of the company, Mitchell published mainly maps and travel guides. In 1860, Mitchell started producing "Mitchell's New General Atlas". 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 1863, shows Mitchell's famous flower border, which is only seen in the early editions of his atlases. This map shows New Orleans. This map measures 12 by 10 inches.
