Julius Bien & Company Lithography offers high-quality and fine detail cartography
Julius Bien (1826-1909) was born in Naumburg, Germany. He studied lithography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cassel and at Stadel's Institute in Frankfurt. In 1849, he fled Germany for New York after his involvement in the unsuccessful revolution of 1848. There, he established a printing business in 1850, experimenting with map-making techniques to improve quality and durability. The quality of his work earned him government contracts for major geographic surveys, and printed several commercial atlases. He created the maps and atlases accompanying the federal census reports from 1870 to 1900, as well as atlases of New York State (1895) and Pennsylvania (1900). Bien won many awards for his work, and was elected president of the National Lithographers' Association for ten years, from 1886 to 1896.
C. C. (Cornelius Clarkson) Vermeule I (1858-1950) was civil engineer and topographer in New jersey and New York. He worked with the United States Geological Survey, and completed the first topographical survey of New jersey. He was a member of the Holland Society of New York, the Sons of the American Revolution, the New Jersey Historical Society and the American Water Works Association.
