This picture together with a number of others was made by Mr. Remington for the late Francis Parkman as an illustration in his "Oregon Trail" of which we are the publishers.</p><p> We now have in process of manufacture a new and very fine edition of Mr. Parkman's historical works which is to be illustrated with a series of photogravure plates. The picture of "Fort Laramie" will appear in this new edition of the "Oregon Trail" and we write to ask if you would allow us to have a photograph made of the picture in your possession as we can get a much better result by photographing from the original than from any of the prints in our present edition.</p><p> If you are willing we should do this and will kindly inform us when it would be convenient for you to have it done we will be glad to secure a competent photographer of Pittsburgh to photograph it. Any assistance you can give us in this matter will be greatly appreciated."</p><p>Remington's Laramie illustration was included in Little Brown's 1898 "Oregon Trail" but there is no indication that it was taken from the original painting owned by Mr. Shea who owned Pittsburgh's leading department store.</p> books

The publishers constantly changed and improved the atlas in an effort to outdo not only their competitors but also to improve on the previous edition. Maps were added the first edition included only 66 map sheets maps were replaced the present work includes two maps dated 1800 including 'A New Chart of the World' dated 25 November 1800 and maps were updated eight maps are dated 1799. The scale of some of the maps is truly spectacular: this atlas contains 15 maps that if joined would form large scale wall maps: 'Asia and its Islands' on three folding sheets ranging from the Arctic regions in the north down through Russia Indonesia and Australia would measure approximately 56 x 46 inches if assembled. The remaining maps on two folding sheets would all be approximately 40 x 46 inches if joined: these include three maps of American interest: 'A new map of the whole continent of America'; 'A new map of North America with the West India Islands'; and 'A map of South America'. The remaining areas that are covered by large scale maps are 'A general map of the World'; England & Wales; Scotland; Ireland; the Netherlands; Germany; Hindoostan; Bengal Bahar etc; Delhi Agrah Oude and Allahabad. This atlas was originally created by Thomas Kitchin. Sayer and Bennett had published the work in 1773 and Laurie and Whittle took over the Sayer business in 1794. They subsequently enlarged the work adding maps and changing the name from the General Atlas to A New Universal Atlas. The maps are based on the work of a variety of mapmakers and surveyors: Thomas Kitchin Thomas Jefferys John Rocque Robert Campbell John Armstrong John Roberts L. S. d'Arcy Delarochette James Rennell Andrew Dury Thomas Pownall and Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville.
