Original,
hand-colored
antique map titled "Map of Part of the
Southern
States."
- The map was drawn and
engraved by Sherman & Smith,
New York, and published by D.F. Robinson, Hartford, Connecticut, in the
atlas to accompany Olney's School Geography,
one of the classic geographic works of the early 19th century.
- The coverage area includes Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, and northern Florida.
- Details include counties, cities, towns, railroads,
Revolutionary War
battle sites, and natural features.
- Milledgeville is labeled as the capital of Georgia, a
large
Mosquito County extends north from southern Florida to the upper end of
Lake George,
and a vignette of a ship in the offshore waters is captioned "The Savannah,
the
first steam ship that crossed the Atlantic from Savannah to Liverpool,
1817."
- Among the other named places and features are Pensacola
Bay, Okefenokee Swamp, Cape Hatteras, Roanoke Inlet, Georgetown,
Memphis, Talladega, Mobile Bay,
Apalachicola River, West Point, Tuscaloosa, Nashville, Chapel Hill
University,
Georgetown, and St. Augustine.
- Condition: This map is in very good
condition, sound and clean, with strong colors, a vertical center fold,
as issued, and
no
rips, tears, or writing. There's faint offsetting on the right side,
and the center fold has toned a wee bit. The map is blank on the back,
with no printing on the
reverse side. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any
questions.
- It is an original, authentic antique map, not a
reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be
genuine.
- It is dated 1844 in the lower margin, and the image area
measures 26.8 x 44.5 cm [10½" x
17½"]. It would make a handsome display in your den or office. It would
also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips
for your reference, along with a photocopy of the dated title page from
the book in which it was published.
