Very good. Overall age toning. Minor spotting. Size 14.5 x 12 Inches. This is S. A. Mitchell's 1850 map of Georgia, illustrating the state at its peak as a pillar of the antebellum South. A Closer Look The map depicts the entire state, using color to differentiate individual counties. Portions of adjacent states are included. Canals and roads are illustrated, along with distances between major points. The state's major railroads lines connection the port of Savannah with various points inland, including Atlanta, Augusta, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Historical Context In 1850, Georgia was dotted by expansive cotton plantations that fueled its economic prosperity. Georgia's burgeoning railroad network began to reshape its internal trade and connectivity, linking rural plantations to growing urban centers like Savannah and Atlanta. This agrarian prosperity, however, was intrinsically tied to slavery, with a significant portion of the population enslaved. Georgia was swept up in the national discourse triggered by the Compromise of 1850, escalating tensions between the North and South. The state's leaders and populace were deeply entwined in these debates, reflecting Georgia's role as a key player in the antebellum South. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by S.

Very good. Overall age toning. Minor spotting. Size 12 x 15 Inches. This is S. A. Mitchell's 1850 map of Louisiana and New Orleans. A Closer Look The map depicts the entire state, employing color to distinguish individual parishes. Canals and roads are illustrated, along with distances between major points. The state's only railroad is the 27-mile Clinton and Port Jackson Railroad, which had been operating since 1841 - this railroad gained greater significance after the fall of Baton Rouge during the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). A large inset in the upper right contains a plan of New Orleans illustrating the city grid, districts, municipal buildings, and piers. The whole is surrounded by the green border common to Mitchell maps from the 1850s. Historical Context In 1850, Louisiana was a mosaic of cultures, a legacy of its colonial history, most of which centered around New Orleans. The state's economy thrived on the fertile lands of the Mississippi River Delta, where sugar cane and cotton plantations abounded. The port of New Orleans, a crucial gateway between the Mississippi Valley, the agrarian South, and international markets, facilitated the export of plantation commodities and other goods, making it one of the wealthiest cities in the nation.

Near excellent. Uneven toning at bottom. Faint soiling in left margin towards bottom. Size 12.5 x 15 Inches. A fine example of Samuel Augustus Mitchell's important 1853 map of South Carolina which appeared in his New Universal Atlas . Among other features, it demonstrates the frenetic pace of railroad construction at the time, tying together different parts of the state and the state with neighboring states. A Closer Look This map shows cities, topographical features, railways, canals, ferries, and roads with color coding at the county level. In addition to cartographic information this map is full of practical data for the traveler, including notes on steamboat and ferry routes. The lower left quadrant bears a detailed inset of Charleston divided into its five boroughs: Cannon, Radcliffe, Wragg, Mazyck, and Hampstead. Important buildings, streets, wharves, and piers are also noted. The rapid addition of new rail lines can be demonstrated by comparing this map with the previous edition of Mitchell's map of South Carolina, published in 1850 (Rumsey 4835.028). By the time of the present map, published in 1853, several new rail lines have sprouted up emanating from Columbia and in the eastern part of the state, leading into North Carolina, causing the legend at bottom to be reconfigures to accommodate lines representing railroads under construction. Publication History and Census Cartographically this map is based on the earlier work of Tanner, though it has been updated with new information as well as Mitchell's distinctive decorative border and color scheme. Though Mitchell's name does not appear on the map, it was published as Plate no. 19 in the 1853 edition of Mitchell's New Universal Atlas . Despite being dated and copyrighted in 1850, the present map differs notably from the 1850 edition held by the David Rumsey Map Collection (List No. 4835.028), which resembles the 1849 edition in lacking Cowperthwait's name and the aforementioned new railroad lines. This edition is also recognizable for outlining counties in the southern part of the state in red, highlighting the subdivision of those counties into color-coded parishes, which is lacking in the 1849 and 1850 editions. Eleven institutions in the OCLC independently catalog physical examples of the map with Cowperthwait's imprint (all cataloged as 1850). References: Rumsey 3803.023. OCLC 887221775, 14151577, 39047400.
