Description

A gorgeous full color map of Kentucky and Tennessee, hand colored by counties. Shows towns, roads, railroads, stations, mountains, rivers, lakes etc. This is a highly unusual map, which only appeared in a few editions of Mitchell's atlas and, odder yet, includes full color in the neighboring states. A striking dark impression. We have never seen this edition before in full wash color.

Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. Biography

Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. inherited the Mitchell Company from his father in 1860. For over thirty years, the company had specialized in the production of school atlases and wall maps of America. They were one of the pioneers on engraving on steel plates. In 1860, Samuel Jr. released the New General Atlas, which had been compiled in house and replaced a previous atlas by Tanner. The elder Mitchell died in 1868 and Samuel Jr. continued the business until the 1890s. At its height, the Mitchell Company employed 250 people and sold 400,000 publications annually.
