Entry/Object ID

WHC 2022.1

Scope and Content

"Johnson's Maine," published by Johnson and Ward. Four-color map of Maine, "22" in upper right-hand corner. Counties differentiated by color; pink border around land boundaries of the state. Scale bar, Lat. & Long. Scrollwork border. Accompanying sales description dates it to 1862, noting that this map was included in the 1862 edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas as Plate Number 31 of the 1862 ed. However, this is labeled 22 in the upper right-hand corner, which suggests this particular plate was from a different edition. It is clearly after 1861, when Ward bought part of the firm, and it also shows Knox County, dating from 1860. Note bent upper LH corner & 3 brown spots in map area of the sheet. Donor Jane Mackay, 2021.
