Contact seller4-star sellerNew York: A.J. Johnson, 1867. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16" x13". Some toning, browning, and aging; otherwise fairly bright and clean and in very good condition. Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884) appears to have entered the map publishing business in 1860. It appears that he obtained J.H. Colton's map cop…yrights, and published the first installment of the Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas In that year. Many of the maps Johnson would use would bear the J.H. Colton copyright for many years. Johnson's Atlas would run from 1860 to 1885. While Johnson would use somewhat similar boarder designs, map coloring would sometimes appear a little heavier than the earlier Colton maps. This map of Australia is from the 1867 edition of Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas, and has nice coloring. While the map doesn't provide great detail, Australia is kind of the wide open spaces at that time. However, the map does provide a list of counties for the different parts of the country. May require extra postage. Ristow 325-326.

Small nicks to the paper on one edge that will mat out when framed. Will ship flat. Removed from a bound volume, Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas. This is an example of Johnson & Browning's u…se of a map first published by J. H. Colton & Co. and copyrighted by Colton in 1855. It has Colton's copyright date and was republished about the year 1860. Hand-colored in pink, cream, and green. This map has the vast interior of Australia with very few references showing the limits of exploration at this time.Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884), b. Wallingford, Vermont; school teacher, for some years a book and map seller for J. H. Colton and Co. After some efforts at publishing his own maps, Johnson found success with his Family Atlas, publishing them in Richmond, Virginia and in New York City beginning in 1860. He and his partner Ross C. Browning (1822-1899) evidently purchased rights to Colton's maps, as they appear in the first Johnson's Family Atlas. Johnson updated his maps as cartography became more accurate, and Atlases during the 1860's were bound with maps bearing various dates until that particular map was updated. Johnson and Browning maps were published 1860-1862; Johnson and Ward were years 1862-1866; maps published by A. J. Johnson, A. J. Johnson and Son, A. J. Johnson & Co., date from 1866-1887.Johnson's hand-colored maps are known for their accuracy to detail and are an important record of internal improvements and westward expansion. All are suitable for framing and valued by collectors.

Johnson's Australia Map, USA Published c.1864 ? Decorative Hand-Colored Map This is a finely engraved and hand-colored map titled Johnson's Australia published by Johnson and Ward in New York, circa 1864. It shows the political divisions of Australia as understood in mid-19th century American cartography, including West Australi…a, North Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. The map is notable for its decorative border, typical of Johnson atlases, with interlaced geometric and floral motifs framing the image. The colonies are shaded in pastel pink, green, and tan colors. Cities, settlements, rivers, mountain ranges, and coastal features are clearly marked, including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Hobart Town. Offshore islands such as Tasmania and surrounding smaller islands are also shown. There is an extensive list of counties and references in the lower and right margins. Johnson and Ward were leading American publishers of maps and atlases in the mid-19th century. Their works combined clear geographic information with decorative appeal. Maps of Australia by Johnson are valued for documenting the colonial divisions before Australian federation in 1901. Condition report: Good condition. Strong impression with bright original hand coloring. Light general age toning and a few small spots or handling marks in the margins, typical for antique atlas maps. Some tears in the borders. Wide margins and plate mark intact. Framing suggestion: Frame with a simple dark wood or black frame and an archival off-white mat to highlight the pastel coloring and decorative border. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the paper quality and prevent fading.
