Froiseth's first map is actually three maps on one sheet, with a portrait of Brigham Young. Moffat lists two editions of this map, one published by the Skandinavisk Post (this copy) and another by Am. Photo-Lithographic Co., N.Y. Both editions have the Am. Photo Lithographic Co. imprint on the map however. Several copies exist unfolded (see WH's two copies) indicating that there may have been a "pile" of unfolded copies discovered recently. This copy comes from a group of three copies owned by a descendent of Froiseth, and included with our copy were several items of Froiseth memorabilia that probably have significance due to the destruction of all of Froiseth's papers soon after his death (Wheat note). Map is folded into burgundy cloth covers 13.5x8.5 with "Maps Of Utah Territory, Great Salt Lake Valley And Salt Lake City, With Portrait And Autograph Of Brigham Young. Published By Skandinavisk Post, N.Y." in gilt. Full color.

Note
First edition of Pressler's revision of De Cordova's map, and first edition published by Colton. Shows Texas east of the 102nd meridian. First issued by De Cordova in 1849, with editions of 1850, 51, 53, 56, 57, 58, and 61 (Ristow and Rosenberg), and a late unlisted edition in 1867 (see our #4801). De Cordova employed Pressler to revise the map in 1855 and then sold the rights to Colton in the same year. The 1849 edition has only two copies located. Eberstadt called the 1849 issue "possibly the finest (Texas map) of the period." Colton changed the inset map from the oval showing all of Texas to the southwestern portion of Colton's U.S. atlas map. J.M. Atwood was the engraver of all editions. With a list of the Land districts, this map was useful for both land promoters and settlers. Colton published a reduced version of the map in his 1856 Atlas of the World. The full color map is folded into stamped dark maroon leather covers 16x10.5 with "J. De Cordova's Texas J.H. Colton & Co. New York." in gilt.

Views, shows Plantations by type, very scarce. In full color, lacks original covers. See our reproduction copy issued by Pelican Press, originally in 1931, and printed by Rand McNally - this reproduction greatly alters the original. Ritzlin catalogue: "Persac was a well known surveyor and landscape painter... the map is quite scarce and normally in poor condition because most copies were used by river pilots to locate plantation landings. Few copies are known in contemporary boards. NUC lists only three copies ... however several copies are located in the south, including one which the Louisiana Supreme Court still uses in land ownership cases." Incredible detail, showing the Plantations on both sides of the river. Four engraved views. Engraved by J.H. Colton. Lacking boards, this copy has some tears at the folds with slight loss at some intersections, some light browning in two areas, but is overall a very good copy. Copies at LSU, Historic New Orleans Collection (504-523-4662). See Antiques Magazine, Nov. 1991 for Persac Article. Norman also published "Norman's New Orleans and Environs" with a map of the city, in 1845 (see our copy).
