Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 14"x 11". Slight toning and aging; otherwise bright and clean. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is a very colorful and attractive map of Minnesota from the 1882 installment of that atlas. While the upper part of the state shows more of the "wide open spaces", there is plenty of detail in the lower portion of this rather colorful map. Ristow 311-313.
