Description |
English: A fine example of Mitchell’s 1864 map of Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. Depicts the region in considerable detail with notations regarding states, rail lines, shipping routes, and geographical features. Feature four inset maps. The two maps in the lower left quadrant depict the Island of Jamaica and the Island of Cuba. The two maps in the upper right quadrant feature the Bermuda Islands and the Isthmus of Panama (Panama Railroad). It is interesting to note that this map was not updated from the original 1860 issue to reflect the partitioning of New Mexico and Arizona in 1864. Mitchell may have used the left over printings of the 1860 issue of this map to populate his atlases until the mid 1860s when he finally updated the plate. One of the most attractive American atlas maps of the West Indies to appear in the mid 19th century. Features the floral border typical of Mitchell maps from the 1860-65 period. Prepared by W. Williams for inclusion as map nos. 48, 49, 50, 51 and 52 in the 1864 issue of Mitchell’s New General Atlas . Dated and copyrighted, “Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1860 by S. A. Mitchell Jr. in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of the U.S. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. |
