About this Item
Description:
The Mitchell company was one of the first to try out the new technique of engraving on steel plates, experimenting with steel almost 20 years before the rest of the publishing industry. He was printing with steel in the early 1830s; the general switch to steel engraving was approximately 1850. During the early years of the company, Mitchell published mainly maps and travel guides. In 1860, Mitchell started producing "Mitchell's New General Atlas". Mitchell Sr. retired and turned the business over to his son of the same name. The New General Atlas was published until 1893. Today Mitchell maps are sought after for their fine engraving, bright coloring, and attention to detail. They are some of the finest maps produced in the 1860's. This map, produced in 1863, shows Mitchell's famous flower border, which is only seen in the early editions of his atlases. This map shows Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This map measures 14.5 by 12 inches. Seller Inventory # 66265

In 1860 S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over his father's map publishing business and in that year he started publishing Mitchell's New General Atlas. Editions of the new general were issued annually until 1887. Mitchell Jr. continued publishing this atlas until 1879. The editions from 1880 to 1887 were published by Wm. M. Bradley.
