Note
Smith considered this to be "the most successful of our maps" and it is indeed a beautiful map and a fine example of early lithography printed by P.S. Duval. Although copyrighted by Robert Pearsal Smith, Ristow states that this map was considered by Smith father, John Jay Smith, to be his own work. There is a view of Girard College and another of Laurel Hill Cemetery in the lower corners of the map engraved by A. Kollner, one of Philadelphia earliest lithographic artists. This copy is from the Kollner collection of Nicholas Biddle Wainwright, who wrote the standard book on Philadelphia lithography and also the authoritative book on Kollner. Map is folded into burgundy leather covers 14x8.5 with "Sidney's Map Of Ten Miles Around Philadelphia" in gilt.

Holmes, J.W.
Note
County map in case map form - fairly rare, in that most county maps were mounted on rollers. The map was published by Robert Pearsall Smith (the two copies listed in Phillips were published by Sage and by Holmes, in Buffalo) in Philadelphia. St. Clair county is opposite St. Louis, giving it special importance. Full color with 15 inset maps and 13 views, and one advertisement.
