1814 Carey General Atlas Map State of Tennessee - Extremely Rare!!
This auction is for the extremely rare and 100% original and authentic antique map of the above region. Cartographer and year. This auction is only for the map that is pictured in this listing. This individual map is from the highly sought after and almost nonexistent 1814 edition of Carey’s General Atlas which was the first edition to use standard outline hand color. Carey first published the General Atlas in 1796 with several updates through the early 19th century. But it wasn’t until the 1814 edition that the plates went through a major revision. This revision included updates based upon the discoveries of Lewis& Clark, and features many important engravings west of the Appalachian mountains including Tennessee. Mississippi Territory. Louisiana and Missouri Territory beyond Louisiana. Mathew Carey was a seminal figure in early American ... morepublishing. Establishing the first publishing firm to specialize in cartography and issuing the first atlas devoted exclusively to American maps. He set up an elaborate cottage system of craftsmen for compiling, engraving, printing, and coloring maps. This practice was emulated by later American cartographic publishers such as John Melish and Henry S. Tanner. The American Atlas concept was also adopted by other publishers in both the United States and Europe. There are only a few of these atlases even for sale anywhere in the world and the prices range from $30.000 to $45,000. Individual single maps from this atlas are virtually impossible to find so my asking price is a steal unless you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars. I am listing the complete series of maps form this atlas, so please look at my other listings to see the rest of the maps. This is your chance to own a map that can be the centerpiece of your collection. I cannot stress enough how beautiful these maps are up close compared to the photos that you see. Note that the photos do not do the map justice. These are truly incredible maps to behold! General Description: 1. Strikingly interesting and highly

1814 Carey General Atlas Map Missouri Louisiana Territory United States Texas
Just make me an offer if you like it. This auction is for the extremely rare and 100% original and authentic antique map of the above region. Cartographer and year. This auction is only for the map that is pictured in this listing. This is one of the rarest maps depicting parts of the United States that you will ever find! Note that I sold an 1842 Arrowsmith Republic of Texas map for $20.000 and that is the going price for that Texas map from others as well because of the extreme rarity of finding those maps. I have sold many other Republic of Texas maps for many, many thousands of dollars. I reference this because I my Carey Missouri Territory map is easily far more rare than the Arrowsmith Texas map. Relatively speaking they made thousands of the Arrowsmith Texas map and only a small number of the Carey Atlas that this Missouri Territory ... moremap is from, so I have priced this map accordingly. To my knowledge I am also the only one selling this is offering a map like this anywhere. This individual map is from the highly sought after and almost nonexistent 1814 edition of Carey’s General Atlas which was the first edition to use standard outline hand color.
