1863 Johnson Family ATLAS Geography Color MAPS Texas California New York HUGE

“The most unusual issue of the Johnson Family Atlas!”

An incredible Civil War-era family atlas! This atlas consists of nearly 100 colored J.H. Colton maps of states, cities, United States, and countries of the world! Individual maps from this collection are highly sought after and can be found for sale for nearly $500 by themselves! The double-page illustration of the world maps is particularly fine. Alvin Johnson was a famous map publisher in the mid-19^th-century.

Historians speculate that J.H. Colton sold the rights to his maps to Johnson, and the result was the masterpiece! According to Geographicus, “The 1863 issue of the Family Atlas was the most unusual, it being a compilation of older Johnson and Browning maps, updated 1862 Johnson and Ward map issues, and newer 1863 maps with a revised border design.”
