Contact seller4-star sellerUnbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, double page, 24" x17". Slight toning and aging; otherwise bright and clean and in very nice 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 copyrights, 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 appear a little heavier than the earlier Colton maps. This double page map of China and Japan is from the 1870 edition of Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas. The color is nice, and there is substantial detail on China. Also includes a small inset map of Canton and Hong Kong. Ristow 325-326.

The Johnson and Browning imprint dates this map between 1860 and 1862. 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 China Map with Canton Inset, USA Published c.1864 ? Hand-Colored This is a finely engraved and hand-colored map titled Johnson's China, published by Johnson and Ward in New York circa 1864. It shows detailed political divisions, provinces, and cities of China in the mid-19th century, with bright pastel pink and green w…ash coloring. The map features an ornate decorative border typical of Johnson's atlases, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Notable is the inset at the lower left showing the Bay of Canton (Guangzhou) and the island of Amoy (Xiamen), important trading ports for European and American merchants during this period. The main map depicts cities, towns, rivers, mountain ranges, and coastal features with clarity, including Peking (Beijing), Nanking (Nanjing), Shanghai, Canton, Amoy, and Formosa (Taiwan). Johnson and Ward were leading map and atlas publishers in the United States during the mid-19th century. Their maps combined accurate cartographic detail with decorative presentation, making them popular for family atlases and educational use. This map reflects American perspectives on China during a time of increasing trade relations and missionary activity. Condition report: Good condition.
