Description Lake Erie Maps & Prints Ebay Store! 1860 First Edition Mitchell's New General Atlas An Original Antique Map: Not a Reproduction!   See Our Ebay Store for other Antique Maps! Free Shipping on Purchases of 5 or More Maps and Prints Description:  It is an original antique map with handcoloring as issued from an 1860 First Edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas published by S. Augustus Mitchell in Philadelphia, 1860. Although many later edition Mitchell Maps have a copyright of 1860, the floral border is undeniable: this border only appeared in the 1860 edition and on a few maps from the 1861 edition. After that the border was changed to a more standard floral design and by 1868 it changed again to a grapevine border. A very rare map with a copy of the original title page included for authenticity.  The map also has a copyright date of 1860 in the bottom margin of the map. It is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. Overall, A Beautiful Map that will frame up nicely. They don't get much better!  Size: The map image measures approximately 9 by 11 inches on a 13 by 15 1/2" page with a wide margin all around for framing. Condition: The map is in near Excellent condition for its age with overall very light tonal ageing and some darkening around the edges. Other than an insignificant small spot or two in the margin, the map is very clean with original vibrant handcoloring. It is a dark impression printed on quality heavy paper, blank on the reverse. Overall, a very nice example that will frame up well. See the pics of the actual map.  Payment Details: We accept Paypal, Money Orders and Personal Checks from buyers with a positive feedback record. We only accept credit cards and bank transfers through Paypal.
