Pocket map, 17 1/2 x 14 1/2 inches, handcolored, folded to 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Original cloth folder, stamped in blind and gilt. Minor toning and soiling to map. Contemporary bookseller's label on front pastedown. Fine. A handsome and pristine copy of this scarce map of Wisconsin. The entirety of the state is handcolored, with each county delineated in a distinguishing color from its neighbors. Much of the northern portion of the state is empty at this point in time. The Chicago area and neighboring portion of southern Minnesota are also included. The front pastedown has a bookseller's label advertising "T.B. Peterson's Publishing and Bookselling Establishment, 102 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia." This label has been pasted over the printed endpaper advertising Desilver, and is likely where the map was originally sold. In beautiful condition, almost like new. N° de réf. du vendeur WRCAM48003

Hand colored folding map (450x380mm), folds into original 12mo gilt lettered cloth case. Some browning along folds, a couple of holes at folds, some aging and toning, case a little faded, but in nice shape; overall the map is very good. Relatively early map of Wisconsin, which became a state less than ten years earlier. Charles Desliver was the publisher, who was an active map publisher in the middle part of the 19th century. He was actually the partner in the Thomas Cowperthwait Company, and ended up purchasing some map copyrights from Mitchell. His business didn't have a lot of success, and he ended up selling the copyrights back to Mitchell. Nevertheless, this is a rather nice map, with a fair amount of detail in the lower portion of the state, and an attractive decorative boarder. geographicus website. N° de réf. du vendeur 100948
