Author
[Mitchell, Samuel Augustus, Drake, Ira S.]
Note
The first edition by Desilver with a preface by him, and a catalogue of Desilver/Mitchell pocket maps, wall maps, and atlas. Entered in 1855, the catalogue indicates this may have been issued by Desilver as early as late 1854. The text has been substantially altered and the map shows a great number of new proposed railroads compared to the 1854 map in the 1853 guide. Outline color. Covers are black stamped leather with "Mitchell's New Traveler's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat, bridge and train stamped in gilt.

Author
Bromme, Traugott
Note
In covers stamped "Map of the United States," this map was originally issued with Bromme's 16 page guide and map of the same title published in Stuttgart in 1853. This 1855 issue was published in Philadelphia by John Weik, has his name added to the map title and the map placed in his own covers with an advertisement for his "Unentbehrlich Fur Jedermann!!" The map, other than being very handsome overall, is clearly from another period (probably around 1840 - the Maine northern boundary is pre 1842) with some updates (not enough to satisfy Wheat - "primitive and backward looking") and, most interestingly, a nice inset of "Oregon, California Und Des Mormonen-Staat Deseret." Also includes six other inset maps: New York, Baltimore and Washington, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and St. Louis. Rare with the Philadelphia imprint. Although similar to, this is not the same engraving (nor are the insets the same) as Bromme's "Neueste Eisenbahn-Kanal-U. Post-Karte fur Reisende in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord Amerika..." that was copied almost directly from Smith's map (see our 1864 edition). Outline color by state, folded into brown leather covers 12.5x8 with "Map Of The United States" stamped in gilt. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.

Dripps, Matthew
Note
Entered in 1853. Not in Haskell, although Haskell lists another map of about the same size, insets, and scale, with a different title. The map covers all of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and the New Jersey shore. Topography is shown (similar to the Viele map of 1868) with particular emphasis on the original shoreline and the made land and docks. Central Park is indicated by color with no name given. A very attractive map of the city showing the rapid development northward. Full color. Covers are dark brown cloth 22x13.5 stamped in gold with "Bulkhead & Pier Lines, Brooklyn & New York." Scarce.
Author
Green-Wood Cemetery
Note
One of the earliest "planned" cemeteries. In Brooklyn. No indication of the map maker. Snyder, Black & Sturn are the lithographers. The plots are numbered (no index with the map) and show lots of room at the top of the map for the inevitable expansion. Folded into stamped green cloth covers 16x10 with "Green-Wood" in gilt.
Author
Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning
Note
A larger version was also published - Winearls 161. 1st issued in 1850. The larger version first issued in 1848. Outline color by county. Folded into black leather covers 14.5x9 with "Map Of Canada East And West." and decorative border in gilt.
Author
Colton, J.H.
Note
The first issue was probably 1852 or 1853 - this map is not in Phillips. Full color by county, folded into dark brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Township Map Of The State Of New-York Published By J.H. Colton" in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C. Relief shown by hachures.
Author
Chapman, Silas
Note
Shows the surveyed southern portion of the state - changes from the 1853 edition are mostly the extension of public surveys in the north. Karrow shows four different Wisconsin maps issued by Chapman in 1855, all on the same scale - two show the entire state and two (including this one) show the southern portions. Outline color. Folded into textured brown cloth covers 13.5x9 with "Sectional Map Of Wisconsin, Containing The Most Recent Surveys. New Edition. Published by S. Chapman, Milwaukee." printed in black on beige paper label.
Author
Henn, Williams & Co.
Note
Late 1855, showing "U.S. Military Road to St. Paul" extending northeast from Sioux City. Folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9.5 with "Henn, Williams & Co.'s Township Map Of Iowa" in gilt. Full color. Prime meridian is Washington D.C.
Author
Mitchell, Samuel Augustus
Note
Early 1855 edition. The Arkansas map has steamboat routes across the top. The Texas map is undated. New Jersey is dated 1854. See the late 1855 edition - further evidence that Mitchell updated the atlas at least twice a year. This copy belonged to Judah Chase (with his name gold stamped on the cover) who was a noted Blue Hill, Maine, Sea Captain and owner of the Brig Thomas M. Lyon. This ship sailed from Havre, France, at the end of March, 1836, and sank in a heavy gale off the Island of Jersey - but the crew was saved. The fine condition of this atlas suggests that it remained in Captain Chase's library and never went to sea. Maps are in full color. Bound in half leather dark green cloth covered boards with "Mitchell's Universal Atlas. Judah Chase." stamped in gold on the front label.
