The name Mitchell has long been synonymous with 19th-century maps; in fact, Mitchell maps are often considered the best of atlas maps from the 1800s. In 1860, S Augustus Mitchell Jr took over for his father who had recently retired and published the first edition of the ‘new atlas’. Mitchell gained his notoriety with his Universal Atlas decades earlier, but the enormous folio version of Mitchell Jr. has been extremely popular ever sense!

 

This huge atlas contains dozens of hand-colored maps from all over the world! Note that the maps themselves from this atlas have been known to sell for more than $300-$500 each!

 

While the maps are certainly the draw of this work, this 1860 first edition includes 26 pages of text at the end describing various topographical and geographical aspects of North America including post offices, populations, censuses, governments, route distances, ports, rivers, mountains, and more.
