About This Item
New York: A.J. Johnson, 1867. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, double page, 24" x17 1/2". Some toning and aging, a couple of chips or slight folds at the edges, small tear in margin of center fold; otherwise fairly 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 map of Africa is from the 1867 edition of Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas, and has nice coloring and good detail. The map includes smaller inset maps of The Nile, Liberia, and Cape Colony. Ristow 325-326
