Author
[DeSilver, Robert, Payne, John]
Note
An untitled pocket atlas containing four maps (probably had five originally - Georgia is listed on the cover and not present). The four maps are titled: Map of Rhode Island Published in 1826; Map of Connecticut Published in 1826; State of New Jersey (no date); and The State of South Carolina from the best Authorities 1831. The maps show no changes from the 1800 issues by Payne, other than the dates on the dated maps, and the water (engraved more darkly) on the Rhode Island map. Several of the maps say Engraved for New Encyclopedia published by J. Low, New York. The authorship of Robert Desilver is a guess - the maps have the look of his "effort to freshen old wares" (Thompson) that is seen in his reissue of the Carey maps in 1828. The Connecticut map is full color by county, the other three are outline color by county. All four are folded into blue card board covers 10x7 with remnants of paste down labels reading "Rhode" and "Georgia."
