Article description

Lithograph, original color in outline by Johnson & Ward, published 1865 by Johnson & Ward, New York. Image size: 320 by 400mm (12 by 15 inches). From Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas — the leading American atlas of the Civil War era. A.J. Johnson (Alvin Jewett Johnson, 1827–1884) was a New York publisher who created one of the most popular American atlas series of the mid-19th century. Having acquired the plates from Joseph H. Colton in 1860, Johnson produced Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas in many editions, partnering first with Browning and then with Benjamin P. Ward (Johnson & Ward, 1863–1866). The Family Atlas went through numerous editions during and after the Civil War, incorporating the latest geographic, railroad, and statistical information. Johnson's maps were engraved on steel with the finest detail available and are distinguished by their vivid hand-applied outline coloring. They are today among the most recognizable and collectible American antique maps of the 19th century. This beautiful decorative antique map shows the Island Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Islands of Anticosti and New Brunswick. On the sheet the upper margin is a bit narrow and a brown spot is visible else in very good condition.
