{"product_id":"1864-johnsons-new-illustrated-family-atlas","title":"1864 Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis facsimile reproduces Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas, published in New York in 1864 by Johnson and Ward, successors to Johnson and Browning and J.H. Colton and Company. The atlas was compiled, drawn, and engraved under the supervision of J.H. Colton and A.J. Johnson, with descriptive text by Richard Swainson Fisher, M.D. This early 1864 edition is notable for introducing a newly drawn map of California and the Southwest, replacing the earlier design derived from the Colton\/Johnson wall map. The atlas contains over 100 hand-colored steel-plate maps covering North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, making it one of the most comprehensive American world atlases produced during the Civil War era. Please note: this reprint includes all maps and the Appendix — Chronological History of the War (pages 103–123), but does not include Part First (Physical Geography), Part Second (Geographical Index), or Part Third (Descriptive Geography and Statistics).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maps provide detailed coverage of the United States at a critical moment in the nation's history, with individual maps of each state and territory alongside city plans of Washington, New York, and other major cities. North American coverage extends to Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Isthmus of Panama, and the West Indies. World coverage includes maps of every European nation, the British Isles, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, the Chinese Empire, Hindoostan and British India, Japan, Australia, and Africa. The Chronological History of the War appendix provides a contemporary timeline of Civil War events through 1864, making this atlas both a geographic reference and a primary document of the conflict. An essential resource for Civil War–era researchers, historians of American cartography, and collectors of nineteenth-century world atlases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatisfaction guaranteed or you can send it back!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ExileBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49872409526427,"sku":"Publishing 2026 \/ 358582938700","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/7705\/6411\/files\/s-l1600_d75ee38e-7955-492e-883c-0a47df2a26f9.jpg?v=1792531990","url":"https:\/\/tangletownpress.com\/products\/1864-johnsons-new-illustrated-family-atlas","provider":"Tangletown Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
