Note
The New York State map, in full color, has the maker's name erased from the plate below the neat line; it appears to be a litho copy, updated, of Finley's 1826 American Atlas map of New York State. Includes 2 inset maps of City of New York and City of Albany. Also showing the length of Rivers and Comparative Heights of Mountains. Prime meridian is Philadelphia. Bound with blue cloth covers and title embossed on front.

Note
Outline color map. The map is dated 1854, but differs from our other 1854 map in Lippincott's Gazetteer in that it shows the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska. This is the latest issue of the map that we have seen. The four inset maps also in outline color are of the Niagara River and Falls; California, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah &c.; the island of Cuba; and the city and harbor of Havana. The guide includes routes, fares, healthful resorts, and statistics. Bound with brown cloth covered boards. Title in gilt with vignettes on cover.

Note
A scarce railroad map of the eastern U.S. with an untitled inset map of North America. The style is a greatly simplified cartography showing railroads and canals. At least two other versions of this map appeared in 1856: one without the inset map (Karrow 1-1609), and one with a different inset map of the City of New York (Modelski 30). Dinsmore published the American Railway Guide in the 1850's which included a smaller railway map (see Modelski 10, 16). Richard Fisher wrote for both Colton and Johnson - Statistical Gazetteer, History of the Civil War, text in the Johnson Family Atlas and Colton's General Atlas, and others. In covers of J.G. Wells, who is also listed as publisher of Karrow 1-1610. Schonberg & Co. are listed as "Acrographers" which is a form of printing we have never seen before. Map is full color by state, and folded into embossed brown cloth covers 16x10 with "New Rail Road Map Of The U. States & Canada J.G. Wells" and a decorative leaf design stamped in gilt. Relief shown by hachure.
