(Wall Map) Mitchell, S. Augustus. Mitchell's National Map of the American Republic or United States of North America. Together with Maps of the Vicinities of Thirty-Two of the Principal Cities & Towns in the Union... Engraved wall map, hand-colored, linen-backed with wooden rollers. Drawn by J.H. Young, engraved by J.H. Brightly. 97x115 cm. (38x47"), including the surround of 32 small maps of the city vicinities. Philadelphia: 1846 Attractive wall map of the U.S. beyond the Mississippi to Texas and Indian Territory, with Iowa expanding far to the north, insets of the extremities of Florida and Maine, populations of each county given, etc. This should not be confused with the smaller (24 x 34") and more common map of the same title. Philadelphia, 1846 A few areas of light water stain at upper right, lower left, and in extreme upper left corner; the left spindle is missing from bottom roller; a very nice example, a clean bright impression with relatively clear varnish and no significant flaws.
