Mitchell, S. Augustus Jr. "Cuba"

S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr.  “Cuba.” 

Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., ca 1885.  10 ¾ x 14.  Lithograph.  Original hand color.  Very good condition. 

For most of the middle part of the nineteenth century, the firm founded by S. Augustus Mitchell dominated American cartography in output and influence.  This fine map is from one of his son’s atlases.  A fine decorative border surrounds the map, and the whole effect makes for an attractive mid-nineteenth century map.
