Note
1st edition, 1st wall map issued by Mitchell. This edition does not have the counties delineated and numbered. Ristow mistakenly says all editions have the townships (he means counties) numbered, but this one, the first, does not, thereby eliminating the index of counties and thus showing more of the western territory. This map predates the Traveler's Guide by 1 year, and thus is Mitchell's first "original" production, as opposed to the Finley material he reissued as the American Atlas and Pocket Maps. The case for the map has a leather label saying "Traveler's Map of the United States." Copyright date is October 10, 1831. There is no other date on the map. Ristow thinks the map was issued in early 1832, but it is not in Phillips until 1834 edition (which probably has the counties indicated by number and the 1831 copyright), so Ristow may not have seen this edition, but rather the 1834. The map is hand painted in bright full color by state (insets by county), dissected in 24 sections with green paper end sheets, mounted on linen and edged in pink silk. The covers 24x20 are half red leather marbled paper covered boards with ties and a leather label embossed with "Traveller's Map Of The United States" in gilt.

Note
First edition, here in the form of a case map, in exceptionally fine condition, with the original marbled end sheets and half leather marbled covers 31x24.5 with gold stamped leather label saying "Mitchell's Map Of The United States." It is difficult to find any changes between this and the 1835 edition, although there probably are some. Ristow states that there was an issue of this map in 1834 without the word "Mitchell" in the title (see our copy #4843), and he does not mention this word appearing in the title until the 1835 issue. He also notes an 1834 issue of essentially the same map but with the title changed to "A New Map of the United States" (Karrow 1-1484 and our #4396). Insets show the United States, south part of Florida, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, north part of Maine, Rochester, Niagara Falls, Albany, Baltimore and Washington, Cincinnati, Charleston and New Orleans. Full bright color by state with green cloth edging. Dissected into 36 sections.

Note
This is the second 1834 issue, substituting "Reference and Distance" for "A New" of "A New Map of the United States by J.H. Young" that was the title of the first 1834 issue. The third 1834 issue adds "Mitchell's" to this title. We can find no changes in the map, other than the title changes, for all three issues of 1834. Full color by state; with blue silk edging. Maps is dissected into 36 sections and folds into half leather marbled boards 31x24.5 with ties. The front cover has a leather label embossed in gold reading "Mitchell's Map Of The United States."

Dissected and folding in four sheets: the western two sheets each dissected into 8 sections, the northeastern section into 12 sections, and the southeastern sheet into 16 sections.

Outline color by state. Sheets fold into blue paper end sheets with a folding cover and patterned brown cloth slip case 31x22 labeled with "United States. Wyld & Son, Successors to Mr. Faden, Geographer To His Majesty. Charing Cross, East nearly opposite Northumberland House. Maps, Charts, Globes ..." on the front and "United States" on the spine.
