Map of Chicago

Philadelphia, 1869. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative border, 14"x 11". Slight toning and aging; overall bright and clean. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is a nice map of Chicago from the 1869 installment of this atlas. A very good street map.
