1860 1st Edition Samuel Augustus Mitchell antique map of Washington & Oregon.

Description:

A beautiful and vibrantly colored map from the rare 1860 1st edition Mitchell New General Atlas, the map was originally entered in to Congress in 1860.  The first edition 1860 is easily distinguished from the later published 2nd edition 1860 (as well as other later Mitchell atlases) by the page numbers being printed within the border, all other later made atlases move the page number outside the border.  Another feature that separates this 1st edition, 1st state, Mitchell atlas is the strong & vibrant hand-coloring as well as the extra dark and pronounced separately engraved floral border. This tremendous map would look great framed!  Only 1st edition, 1 state, specimen for sale on eBay!
