Title
A New Map of South Carolina with its Canals, Roads & Distances from place to place along the Stage & Steam Boat Routes..
Description
English: This scarce hand colored map is a lithographic engraving of South Carolina dating to 1846 by the legendary American Mapmaker S.A. Mitchell, the elder. Includes a detailed inset map of Charleston. This is a rare transitional map produced by the mysterious engraver H. N. Burroughs, whose work for the Mitchell firm appears in 1846 between that of H.S. Tanner and Mitchell himself. Ristow notes, Nothing is known about Burroughs, but he was undoubtedly an employee or associate of Mitchell. His fine and detailed work appears only in the hard to find 1846 edition of the Mitchell’s Atlas and evinces a more delicate hand than later editions. Dated and copyrighted 1846.
