Note
In 1835 Peck and Messenger published their first map, a smaller map of "Illinois and part of the Wisconsin Territory." In 1836 they issued a much larger map, published by Colton, that is the ancestor of this 1852 map. Karrow shows issues of 1836, 1838, 1839, 1844, 1846, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, 1856, 1857, 1863, 1866, 1868, and 1869. The 1836 copyright was kept throughout, except for the 1853 issue, when the copyright was changed to 1853. In the unrecorded 1860 and 1867 issues (see our copies), the title adds Colton's name. It is odd that with so many issues of the map, it has become truly scarce. In its time, it was the best map of Illinois by far, and was probably the most popular. It is one of the only maps to show the vast extent of the prairies by graphic symbol. In addition to the two inset maps, there is an untitled profile of the Michigan Canal. There are columns of texts on the Public Lands, the Land Districts, Canals, and Population. In 1839 Peck issued with Colton the "Traveller's Directory For Illinois," with a slightly smaller map of the state (Karrow 4-1479). Peck was a Baptist Minister who traveled extensively in Illinois and adjoining states as a part of his work, and his keen sense of observation quickly made him an authority on the West. His Guide for Emigrants appeared in 1831, and his Gazetteer of Illinois in 1834. After his death in 1858, Colton continued to publish this map under Peck's name. Full color by county, folded into stamped black leather covers 15x9 with "Colton & Co.s. Map Of Illinois Exhibiting The Sections By Peck & Messinger" in gilt. Prime meridian: Washington.

The first edition was 1844. Editions were issued almost yearly to 1857, although Karpinski does not record this 1853 issue. The "23rd edition" has "no significance as to actual editions" according to Karpinski. This copy is trimmed close on the western side and has no neat line on that side, which appears to be original(see our (1866) issue which is trimmed in the same manner), although Karpinski's width is two inches more on this side. The amount of detail that Farmer has put in this map is impressive. Farmer made maps of the Michigan area from 1824 to 1835, when he sold his copyrights to Colton. The first edition of this 1853 map represents his reentry into the map field. Karpinski: "In 1844 he brought out an entirely new map of the State of Michigan, which he engraved himself, and which represented a large amount of careful, conscientious work, and passed through many editions." The outline color map is folded into ornately stamped black leather covers 14.5x9 with "Farmer's Map Of Michigan Exhibiting The Sections" in gilt.

Note
Untitled folding detailed transportation map of Russia in Europe, dissected into 32 segments 23.5x13.5, and backed with linen. Including the mileage between town, also features the early stages of Russia’s railway system. With 6 Inset plans of St. Petersburg; Moscow; Riga, today in Latvia; Warsaw, today in Poland; Nizhniy Novgorod and map of Russia in Asia. The inset map depicts all of Asian Russia, from the Urals to Kamchatka, and delineates the main transcontinental road system which extended from Yekaterinburg, on the eastern slope of the Urals, all the way across to Okhotsk, on the Pacific, and then beyond to Kamchatka, showing precise mileage between stations along the transcontinental route throughout. Published by the St. Petersburg bookseller J.A. Jungmeister. While the map’s title is missing, Jungmeister’s name appears below the blank space where the title was intended to have been engraved, an imprint appears, in the upper left margin, noting that the map was printed in St. Petersburg on March 19, 1854.The map is one of the earliest maps to delineate all of the Russian Empire’s major roads in exacting detail, and as the legend explains on the right, the roads are classified into three categories: major post roads (highways); regional roads; and rural (dirt) roads. The map gives the precise mileage between the towns along each road, a detail very seldom seen on Russian road maps of the period. The coverage of roads, with mileage, even extends a ways into neighboring countries, also showing first major railway lines. Map depicts all of European Russia, extends onto Scandinavia, parts of Central Europe, Romania and the Caucuses. Showing oblasts (provinces), cities and towns. Map appears to be an unfinished proof state of an intended final publication. Most notably, a great blank space remains in the far upper left corner where the title was intended to have been placed.

The general map published with the Pacific Railroad Survey Reports. This map had earlier issues and later issues. A preliminary listed of those would be: 1855 (our #2289); 1857 (WH and AH's copies)- blank areas in eastern Oregon, fewer authorities; 1857 published with the reports; 1858 early (see Schubert);1858 late (our #2750); 1867 (our #2594). We suspect there are other states and issues, particularly in the period of 1859 to 1866. This is one of the most important maps of the West in the 1850's and 1860's and a study of its different states shows the rapid growth of topographical information from government exploration and mapping. Without color.

1st ed. Stevenson identifies 3 issues. Very beautiful and elaborate map showing the hand of Robert Pearsal Smith (has similarities graphically to his N.Y. State Map of 1860). The map is drawn by J.M. Atwood, but is credited to J.C. Smith, "Author of Harper's Gazetteer, Colton's County Map of the U.S., Traveler's Guide, &c." R.P. Smith is obviously competing with J.H. Colton by using J.C. Smith's name. Also, the population statistics for the 1860 census are listed, "in advance of official publication" (see Colton letter dated 1861 on this subject). Many inset views relating to the civil war, portraits of Union Generals, and thematic map insets. The U.S. map bears a striking resemblance to Colton's U.S. map of the same period (We suspect intentional on Smith's part) but it is different. H.H. Lloyd did a similar map in 1866 (High Ridge #18-165), probably by obtaining Smith's map copyright for this map and the New York State Map in 1865 when Smith left the map publishing business (Ristow p 377). With black top and bottom rollers. Full color by county. Inset showing crops and animals of the U.S. Table of distances. Table of time differences. Profiles route of Lieut. A.W. Whipple's route for Pacific Railroad.

Walling published another version of this map in 1863 (Haskell 1121) that includes all of Staten Island (this copy shows none of Staten Island) but extends north only to Englewood (see our 1860 issue of New York and Its Environs which covers the same territory).
