MITCHELL, Samuel Augustus, publisher (1792-1868) - James H. YOUNG. Reference and Distance Map of the United States, by J.H. Young . Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, 1834. Hand-colored engraved folding map by J.H. Young F. Dankworth, E. Yeager, and E.F. Woodward, dissected in 36 sections and mounted on linen, edged in blue cloth, 1367 x 1758 mm (a few small tears/nicks along edges and folds affecting some text and map content, a few small holes, some occasional pale spotting, otherwise fresh and clean). Folds with marbled end sheets. Provenance : Ruth Jane Chamberlain Valentine. She writes: "This map was used in my Grandmother Chamberlain's school room when she was a teacher in [New] York State" (ink inscription on verso). A FINELY COLORED COPY OF MITCHELL'S 1834 MAP OF THE UNITED STATES, with an inset map of North America and smaller insets of Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Rochester, Niagara Falls, Albany, Cincinnati, Washington, Charleston, New Orleans, the south part of Florida, and the south part of Maine. Below the title cartouche is a fine steel engraving, designed by W. Mason, of an American eagle perched on a seashell boat with a coastal view in the background. In 1833, Mitchell, along with his compiler and engraver James Young published A New Map of the United States and, in 1834, published the Reference and Distance Map with the same view, decorative borders, and engravers. As with the 1833 map, he offered this 1834 version for sale at his firm Mitchell & Hinnan in Philadelphia. In 1835 the map was again published under the new title: Mitchell's Reference and Distance Map of the United States, by J.H. Young , with several later editions to follow. While it appears that Mitchell had no formal training in cartography, his company in Philadelphia, along with Joseph H. Colton's in New York City, dominated 19th-century American map and atlas publishing. Ristow pp.309-310.
