Description
Atlas map of North America including the United States, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean islands, including detailed boundaries, place names, and illustrations. The map appears remarkably accurate for the date when it was first made, 1851. This is an enhanced, restored reproduction of an antique map. Original source: "The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical." Includes decorative vignette engravings depicting Alaskan dog sleds, Mount Hekla, Beavers, Niagara Falls, ancient monument of Mexico, North American Indians, Wapiti Deer, and Cossacks. Map shows the states admitted to the Union at the time plus various territories. Alaska is designated as Russian America.
I have selected interesting, old 19th and early 20th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were then adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece. © 2021 for this restored reproduction.
