Description: In-depth Description: This is an original 1856 hand-colored map from Mitchell's "School and Family Geography," specifically "No. 7: Map of the Middle States," which includes New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina, and West Virginia (then part of Virginia). This historical map is not only a beautiful display piece but also a significant artifact that offers insight into the geography and political boundaries of the United States in the mid-19th century. Rarity & Historical Significance: Maps from this era, particularly from S. Augustus Mitchell, are highly collectible due to their detailed engraving and historical value. This map predates the Civil War, making it a valuable resource for understanding the antebellum United States, especially with the inclusion of states that would soon be embroiled in the conflict. The detailed annotations on waterways, railroads, and cities provide a glimpse into the infrastructure of the time. Content of the Image: The map vividly displays state boundaries, major cities, and geographical features, all labeled with precision. The hand-colored sections differentiate the states and make the map an eye-catching piece of art. The map also contains annotations related to significant battles, canals, railroads, and navigational distances, making it a rich source of historical information.
