182319787Philadelphia: Carey & Lea 1823. Engraving with full period colour. Backed on linen. Split at fold expertly repaired. Occasional creases. Fascinating and informative map of Connecticut from one of the most innovative American atlases of the 19th century.<br/> <br/> Carey & Lea's atlas established a style that was widely admired especially in Europe: placing a fully coloured map as the centerpiece of the page and surrounding it with geographical and historical facts. The texts were well written and intriguing. The immense transformation of continental America: the vast migration settlement and industrialization really began at about this time not long after the War of 1812 when expansion and opportunity were American by-words. It was at this time that American atlases began to need semi-annual revisions because the country had changed so rapidly. In fact the Carey & Lea gazetteer style most reminiscent of Herman Moll really was too time consuming for the firms that published atlases of America as the century progressed. Carey & Lea unknown

186520182New York: Charles Magnus & Co. 12 Frankfurt St 1865. Lithographic transfer with original hand-colour. Mounted onto original black and gold border with printed title. Image size: 4 ¾ x 7 inches. A rare birds-eye view of Halifax Nova Scotia by Charles Magnus the industrious New York publisher.<br/> <br/> Bird's-eye views and sweeping panoramas of North American cities became extremely popular at mid-century. Examples were eagerly collected and could be seen in every print shop and bookseller across the country. Town views were originally issued in large format but entrepreneurial publishers such as Charles Magnus soon realized that there was a market for smaller format views. Magnus who was a prolific publisher of games and stationary made a name for himself by publishing a wealth of smaller city views of prominent American and Canadian cities. These lithographs were typically octavo size and came with a decorative black and gold border. They are all extremely detailed and today are considered quite rare. This charming view of Halifax is a wonderful example of Magnus's fine work and a stunning impression with nice early colour and an original black and gold border.
