Bromme, Traugott United States 1855 Pocket Map   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.
