*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
[America] MITCHELL, Samuel Augustus (1792-1868).
A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California with the Regions Adjoining.
Engraving with original hand color, with original case.
Philadelphia, 1846.
21" x 22 1/2" sheet, 34 1/2" x 36 1/2" framed.
Comparable: PBA Galleries, 2016 - $15,600; Heritage Auction Galleries, 2006 - $14,300
Finely colored example of the 1846 version of Mitchell's seminal map of Texas, Oregon Territory, California, and the Transmississippi West. Mitchell's map of the West was one of the first large format commercially published maps to show the Transmissisippi West, after the annexation of Texas in 1845 and was perhaps the single most popular map of the period, used by emmigrants, gold seekers and others whose lives, fortunes or attentions were focused Westerward at the outset of the Mexican-American War.
