H. N. Burroughs, 1846, Virginia. Published by S. A. Mitchell, Original full color, about 11 1/2 by 13 3/4 inches. A map which is becoming scarce showing Virginia before the civil war and therefore West Virginia is still a part of the State of Virginia. Shows the counties, and the towns and settlements of the time. Excellent detail of mountains and rivers and other features. Some browning and some very slight marking on the marginal area which will not affect the map when framed. $450
Samuel Augustus Mitchell, c.1860, Virginia (before the Civil War). Handsome in full color, about 10 1/2 by 13 inches. Showing Virginia (prior to West Virginia being founded). A handsome map showing counties, rivers, mountains, cities, and rail. Mitchell's maps from this series are some of the more attractive maps from this period. This map is enhanced with a decorative "garland" of flowers which provides a handsome border, making this an especially attractive map. Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border to the one pictured. Hand colored lithograph. $495 Seldom available, so we recommend that you place your name on the waiting list for this map.
