Bradley, W.M. "Map of the United States, and Territories. Together with Canada &c."

“Map of the United States, and Territories. Together with Canada &c.”  From Mitchell’s New General Atlas. 

Philadelphia: W.M. Bradley & Bro., 1886. 13 1/2 x 21 1/2.  Lithograph.  Original hand color.  Very good condition.

A precisely detailed map from the Philadelphia publishing firm of William M. Bradley & Bro.  Bradley took over the publication of Mitchell’s New General Atlas in the early 1880s and this is a fine example of nineteenth century American mapmaking.  It shows the United States with impressive detail, with emphasis on rivers, towns, and the myriad railroad lines criss-crossing the states.  States and territories are named and delineated in attractive pastel colors.
