Charles Gaskell.  "Florida."  From Gaskell's Atlas of the World.

Chicago: Gaskell, 1887. 11 1/4 x 16 5/8. Cereograph map with original printed color. Very good condition. 

Charles A. Gaskell arrived in Chicago in the early 1880s, commencing a career as an author, publisher and book distributor. This atlas map is a good example of the quality of American mapmaking at the time. Done by cerography, or wax engraving, the map is filled with precise, clear and copious details. Depicted are towns, road, railroads, rivers, all set against a topographical background, and with pastel shades delineating counties shown as they existed from March 1885 to February 1887.
