Item Details
Description
Heading:
Author: Vance, D. H.
Title: Map of the State of New York
Place Published: Philadelphia
Publisher:Anthony Finley
Date Published: 1824
Description:


Folding pocket map, 17 x 20½ inches, with full period color folding into full calf boards, gilt title on cover, advertisement pasted to inside front, 6x3¾". Inset in lower left: "Profile of the Grand Erie Canal." Statistical table at right. First Edition.



First edition of a highly important pocket map of New York State. Orleans County is not yet present. A second edition, with Orleans County and dated 1825, was included in Finley's A New American Atlas (1826).


Rumsey notes that the atlas was an "attempt to compete with Tanner's American Atlas...the cartography and engraving are equal to Tanner, although the scale and map size are smaller." In 1831 the plates for the atlas were sold to S. Augustus Mitchell, who revised the maps and brought out a new edition that year. Mitchell continued to issue the maps separately in pocket form until about 1850. Not in Phillips.

Condition
Wear to covers; closed tears along folds and intersections; very good.
