Scarce “Carey & Hart” 1846 true 1st ed. map of Washington, D.C.

Item Details

Description

Elusive map of the nation’s capital city produced by H. N. Burrough and Samuel Augustus Mitchell for inclusion in Mitchell’s very scarce, true first edition of his 1846 New Universal Atlas. Bearing the Carey & Hart decorative borders, thus being somewhat different than the version that showed up in Mitchell’s second 1846 edition published later in the year. Because much of the city was under construction when the map was created, it is a remarkable combination of existing cartography and future projections. This finely engraved plan of the Capital names all major streets and buildings; notably, the President's House, Capitol Square, the Navy Yard, Judiciary Square and the Patent Office & National Institute. The Mall is mostly blank as construction on the Washington Monument will not start for two years. Also the Smithsonian Institute is not yet mentioned. Extensive table at lower left lists and keys to map 108 important buildings, e.g. the Capitol, State Department, Departments of War, Navy, and Treasury. Decorative scroll-style border. Engraved vignette depicts "Plan of the Principal Floor of the Capitol Building." Clean with light toning at the edges. 12.25 x 15.375
