[MAP] Johnson's Germany no. 2 [with] Johnson's Germany no. 3. (c. 1861)

Description: [MAP] Johnson's Germany no. 2 [with] Johnson's Germany no. 3. New York: Johnson and Browning, c. 1861. [10395] Large double-plate hand-colored maps, total of 46 x 67.5 cm (18 x 26 3/4 inches), suitable for framing. There are a few small black spots/blemishes. These are two separate maps printed on one sheet sharing the same border. Will ship folded at center, as found. Removed from a bound volume, Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas. Very good. The map layout of what constituted Germany in 1860 could not be conveniently laid out as one large map, so these two maps make up part of the area of Germany. The top map is No. 2 and shows Westphalia, Cleves Berg or Rhein Provinces, Hessen Cassel, Darmstadt, Brunswick, Schwarzburg (Sonderhausen & Ruddlstadt), Frankfurt, Waldeck, Reuss (Greitz & Schleitz), Saxen Coburg Gotha, Meiningen (Hildurchausen, Saalfield), Saxen Altenburg, Weimar (Eisenach), and Luxemburg. The bottom map No. 3 contains Bavaria, Wurtemberg, BAden, HohnZollern (Sigmaringen & Hechingen, Nassau, Frankfurt, and Hessen Homburg. These maps shows roads, railroads, rivers, counties, and locales; 1805 battlefields are also marked. The Provinces, Duchys, Kingdoms, Free Towns, &c. are hand-painted in colors. The Johnson and Browning imprint dates this map between 1860 and 1862.  Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884), b. Wallingford, Vermont; school teacher, for some years a book and map seller for J. H. Colton and Co. After some efforts at publishing his own maps, Johnson found success with his Family Atlas, publishing them in Richmond, Virginia and in New York City beginning in 1860. He and his partner Ross C. Browning (1822-1899) evidently purchased rights to Colton's maps, as they appear in the first Johnson's Family Atlas. Johnson updated his maps as cartography became more accurate, and Atlases during the 1860's were bound with maps bearing various dates until that particular map was updated. Johnson and Browning maps were published 1860-1862; Johnson and Ward were years 1862-1866; maps published by A. J. Johnson, A. J. Johnson and Son, A. J. Johnson & Co., date from 1866-1887. Johnson's hand-colored maps are known for their accuracy to detail and are an important record of internal improvements and westward expansion. All are suitable for framing and valued by collectors.
