(Covers to) Topographical Map Of The West Indies And The Adjacent Coasts By John Pinkerton, Revised, Corrected and Published by J.H. Colton. No. 86 Cedar St. New York, 1853. Drawn under the direction of Mr. Pinkerton by L. Hebert. Neele sculpt. 352, Strand.
List No
2828.001
Note
This is the extraordinary reuse of an actual Pinkerton map plate of 1809 to make a pocket map in 1852. Colton has taken the almost fifty year old Pinkerton copper plate, made some corrections to the topography (see erased lake in Florida) and added modern features such as railroads in Cuba, new settlements, and a list of Geographical Statistics in the upper right. He probably reissued it because the Pinkerton map is beautifully done and most of the basic topography remained correct. Where he got the plate is somewhat of a mystery, although it may have been obtained from successors to the Philadelphia publisher Thomas Dobson who issued the Philadelphia edition of Pinkerton's Modern Atlas in 1818 (see our #4840). Neele and Hebert are still credited below the neat line. Map is folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Map Of The West Indies J.H. Colton" in gilt. Full color. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Greenwich.

List No
4463.001
Note
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.

Kansas is not shown and Nebraska is in a very unusual configuration, interlocking on the east with an equally strange shaped Indian Territory - this reflects the unsettled Nebraska and Kansas boundary situation in the year prior to creation of Kansas in 1854.
