S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr. “Iowa and Missouri.”
From Mitchell’s New General Atlas. Philadelphia: Wm. M. Bradley & Bro., 1887. 16 x 22. 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. This Iowa map is a fine example of nineteenth century American map making. It shows the state in impressive detail, with emphasis on rivers, towns, and the myriad railroad lines criss-crossing the state. Counties are delineated with attractive, light pastel colors.
