In the late 1800s and early 1900s, American publishing experienced rapid expansion, giving rise to new mapmakers who produced visually appealing and highly accurate maps capable of competing with the best of their contemporaries. This particular map originates from a collection issued by one of the era’s smaller publishers and exemplifies up-to-date information paired with high-quality craftsmanship. Its vibrant colors and meticulous detail distinguish the maps in Crowell & Kirkpatrick’s Peerless Atlas, making them an excellent addition to any collection. [online quote]. Unidentified cartographer.
