Wheat calls this "rare but otherwise unimportant," due to some misspellings and inaccuracies in the map. Streeter sale illustrates the map and the price realized was the same as the Eddy map of 1853. I find the Wheat inaccuracies minor, with most of them being misspellings. The overall map is impressive. It would be interesting to find the map or maps that were used as sources. Ouline color by state. Folded into dark brown cloth covers 16.5x11 with "Map Of California And Adjacent Country By F. Goodwin" stamped in gilt. |

| Note |
In covers stamped "Map of the United States," this map was originally issued with Bromme's 16 page guide and map of the same title published in Stuttgart in 1853. This 1855 issue was published in Philadelphia by John Weik, has his name added to the map title and the map placed in his own covers with an advertisement for his "Unentbehrlich Fur Jedermann!!" The map, other than being very handsome overall, is clearly from another period (probably around 1840 - the Maine northern boundary is pre 1842) with some updates (not enough to satisfy Wheat - "primitive and backward looking") and, most interestingly, a nice inset of "Oregon, California Und Des Mormonen-Staat Deseret." Also includes six other inset maps: New York, Baltimore and Washington, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and St. Louis. Rare with the Philadelphia imprint. Although similar to, this is not the same engraving (nor are the insets the same) as Bromme's "Neueste Eisenbahn-Kanal-U. Post-Karte fur Reisende in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord Amerika..." that was copied almost directly from Smith's map (see our 1864 edition). Outline color by state, folded into brown leather covers 12.5x8 with "Map Of The United States" stamped in gilt. Prime meridian is Washington D.C. |

In covers stamped "Map of the United States," this map was originally issued with Bromme's 16 page guide and map of the same title published in Stuttgart in 1853. This 1855 issue was published in Philadelphia by John Weik, has his name added to the map title and the map placed in his own covers with an advertisement for his "Unentbehrlich Fur Jedermann!!" The map, other than being very handsome overall, is clearly from another period (probably around 1840 - the Maine northern boundary is pre 1842) with some updates (not enough to satisfy Wheat - "primitive and backward looking") and, most interestingly, a nice inset of "Oregon, California Und Des Mormonen-Staat Deseret." Also includes six other inset maps: New York, Baltimore and Washington, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and St. Louis. Rare with the Philadelphia imprint. Although similar to, this is not the same engraving (nor are the insets the same) as Bromme's "Neueste Eisenbahn-Kanal-U. Post-Karte fur Reisende in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord Amerika..." that was copied almost directly from Smith's map (see our 1864 edition). Outline color by state, folded into brown leather covers 12.5x8 with "Map Of The United States" stamped in gilt. Prime meridian is Washington D.C. |
