About This Item
Philadelphia, 1869. unbound. Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. 14 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches.<br/> <br/> Early map of Palestine or the Holy Land from the Dead Sea to Lebanon with part of Syria showing the biblical names of the tribes of Israel. Royal cities noted with towns, waterways, and geographical features also labeled. Turkish names noted as well as ruins. An inset of modern Jerusalem is included. In the index a color line should denote 'Land of the Philistines' but it was not colored in. In very good condition, chip at the top right corner and some stains and small tears to the border that do not affect image. Otherwise clean and bright. <br> <br> Samuel Augustus Mitchell Sr. (1792-1868) was one of the leaders in American cartography of the 19th century and pioneered the conversion of engraved map plates to more affordable lithographic plates. His son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr. continued his father's successful mapmaking and publishing business, and was one of the most prolific and renowned 19th century American publishers.<br/> <br/>
