Aggiungi al carrelloNear excellent. Uneven toning at bottom. Faint soiling in left margin towards bottom. Size 12.5 x 15 Inches. A fine example of Samuel Augustus Mitchell's important 1853 map of South Carolina which appeared in his New Universal Atlas . Among other features, it demonstrates the frenetic pace of railroad construction at the time, t…ying together different parts of the state and the state with neighboring states. A Closer Look This map shows cities, topographical features, railways, canals, ferries, and roads with color coding at the county level. In addition to cartographic information this map is full of practical data for the traveler, including notes on steamboat and ferry routes. The lower left quadrant bears a detailed inset of Charleston divided into its five boroughs: Cannon, Radcliffe, Wragg, Mazyck, and Hampstead. Important buildings, streets, wharves, and piers are also noted. The rapid addition of new rail lines can be demonstrated by comparing this map with the previous edition of Mitchell's map of South Carolina, published in 1850 (Rumsey 4835.028). By the time of the present map, published in 1853, several new rail lines have sprouted up emanating from Columbia and in the eastern part of the state, leading into North Carolina, causing the legend at bottom to be reconfigures to accommodate lines representing railroads under construction. Publication History and Census Cartographically this map is based on the earlier work of Tanner, though it has been updated with new information as well as Mitchell's distinctive decorative border and color scheme. Though Mitchell's name does not appear on the map, it was published as Plate no. 19 in the 1853 edition of Mitchell's New Universal Atlas . Despite being dated and copyrighted in 1850, the present map differs notably from the 1850 edition held by the David Rumsey Map Collection (List No. 4835.028), which resembles the 1849 edition in lacking Cowperthwait's name and the aforementioned new railroad lines. This edition is also recognizable for outlining counties in the southern part of the state in red, highlighting the subdivision of those counties into color-coded parishes, which is lacking in the 1849 and 1850 editions. Eleven institutions in the OCLC independently catalog physical examples of the map with Cowperthwait's imprint (all cataloged as 1850). References: Rumsey 3803.023. OCLC 887221775, 14151577, 39047400.
