Title
A New Map of Pennsylvania with its Canals, Rail-Roads & c.
Description
English: This hand colored map is a copper plate engraving, dating to 1850 by the legendary American Mapmaker S.A. Mitchell, the elder. It represents Pennsylvania. Contains notes on steamboat stops and routes between Pittsburg and Louisville, Philadelphia and New York both via Trenton and via Bordentown, and from Philadelphia to Baltimore via New Castle. Upper portion of the map is dedicated to a profile of the Pennsylvania Canal and the Columbia Railroad. This historically important map is extremely rare as it existed only in the 1850 edition of the Mitchell’s Universal Atlas.
