Author
Walling, H. F.
Note
1st edition 1859; this copy is the second issue. Large map of the state with numerous inset plans of towns, an inset Geological Map of the State of Vermont by Albert D. Hager, 1859, population statistics from the 1850 census, lists of subscriber's names (extensive), and views of the National and State capital buildings. This seems to be the same as the 1859 issue other than the date and the number of insets - 43 vs 31, and the arrangement of the insets, state map and subscribers list. Cobb 329 is another edition also by Walling but published by Hager in 1860, with population statistics from the 1850 and 1860 census. This is a beautifully drawn and highly detailed state map. Insets of 43 town and city maps.

Note
Entered in 1856 and first issued in 1857. With an inset map of the World, and views of the U.S. Capital and state symbols around an eagle, tables of Distances and Statistics from the Census of 1850. Compared to the 1859 edition (our 4012.000) Colona, Jefferson, and Shoshone are added as proposed states in the west, one of the only maps we have seen to show all three. Also, the imprint of Johnson and Browning, Richmond Virginia is very unusual and probably one of the last north south publishing collaborations on the eve of the Civil War. There is Note and list of Authorities which reads in part "The part of this Map, between the Mississippi River and Pacific Ocean, was taken (with the consent of Capt. A.A. Humphreys) principally from a map compiled from the following authorities by Lieut. G.K. Warren, Topl Engrs...In the Office of Pacific Rail Road Surveys, War Department." The map referred to must be the 1855 edition (see our copy) of Warren's General Map for the Pacific Railroad Reports. The list of Authorities is almost identical to the list on that map. Also, the map details of the west used in Johnson's map follow the 1855 edition in scope. Karrow lists many issues of this map from 1857 to 1861, with the views varying in each issue, and with Colton taking over as publisher in 1860, as in this copy. See our late Colton edition of 1890 (our #5150). With black top and bottom roller. Full color by county or territory in the U.S. and by state in Central America. Edged in dark blue silk.
