Mitchell Map of the World, 1850

Beautiful hand colored map of the world originally created by S. Augustus Mitchell in 1850. Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. bought out Mitchell in 1850. They published this map in 1853. Shows the world on hemispherical projection and offers a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. The coast of Antarctica is drawn in sketchily, based upon early expeditions. The map is color coded according to continents with counties named but their boundaries not defined. Various important cities, rivers, islands, mountain ranges, and several other topographical details are noted. Very light and tiny spots of foxing, mostly in margins. 9.5 x 14.25.
