Lot of 3. Anon. Southern States. Approx. 11.75 x 18.5 in. sheet. Full hand coloring, sailing vessel in Gulf of Mexico, elevations shown by hachures. Although not identified as to publisher or author, this map is very similar to ones by Thomas Smiley (but lacks the insert of South Florida), Sarah S. Cornell, William Woodbridge (his have inserts below title - in Atlantic Ocean area), Huntington, and even Mitchell (more text under title than this one). An earlier retailer has written "1828" in pencil in the upper right corner, but that did not help identify the source. Many of the previously mentioned similar maps are from school geography atlases, as we suspect this one is, also. Most of the above maps also predate 1850, so this map is likely fairly early. the population of St. Augustine (FL) is noted as 1,500, and Savannah (GA) is about 8000, both of which would also suggest an early date. North America, Sheet XIII. Parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama & Florida. London: Published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 1833. 13.5 x 16.25 in. sheet. narrow color outlines of states and counties. Engraved by J. & C. Walker Warner & Beers. County Map of Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. 15.25 x 18 in. sheet. Full hand coloring, heavier outlining, decorative geometric border. Atlas map from Lloyd, H.H. Atlas of the United States. Chicago: Warner & Beers, n.d. (ca. 1872, 1873?), p. 73. Condition: Generally very good. Occasional very light toning in margins. Minor scuffing. Small "bite" out of third map lower margin. light toning of side margins on SDUK map. Almost none impacts the print area.
