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. |

| Note |
Blanchard's second map of Chicago, after his 1857 issue. With views of Old Fort Dearborn and an inset map of "Chicago in 1812." Outline color. Includes index of streets. On the verso in full color is the main portion of "Map of the counties of Cook, Dupage, Will, Kankakee, and parts of Kane & Kendall" trimmed close at the bottom and left sides. This was compiled by J. H. Rees, undated, and is not listed in Karrow, other than an 1851 edition of somewhat different title (Karrow 4-1841). The Karrow listing of the Blanchard Chicago Map (4-0374) does not mention this Rees map on the verso, making this copy of the two maps perhaps unique. Map is folded into stamped red cloth covers 15x9.5 with "Blanchard's Guide Map of Chicago." in gilt. |
