About This Item
New York: A.J. Johnson, 1867. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16" x13". Slight toning and aging, a few of chips at the edge of a very ample margin; otherwise 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 Russia is from the 1867 edition of Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas, and has nice coloring and substantial detail. Ristow 325-326
