Thumb, Johnson , 1865, New Jersey.jpg (16295 bytes)

   New Jersey, 1865, by Alvin Jewitt Johnson. Colored, about 16 by 12 1/2    inches. This is a wonderful, handsomely colored county map of the State of New Jersey. Johnson's maps from this series are particularly handsome because they include a handsome decorative border.  Also, Johnson's maps were widely used, making updates to each edition was of paramount importance to his company.  Therefore, this map would contain the most "up-to-date" view of the State available at that time.  Different editions of the identical map may have a slightly different decorative border.   Hand colored lithograph.   $150 


George Cram, c.1884-1899, New Jersey. The map is in printed color.  It measures about 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches and is a detailed county map depicting landforms, counties, rail road lines, cities and towns.  Maps such as these came from the first widely used atlases published for family use in America.  Different editions are slightly differently colored. Later editions are in full color.  $25


Thumb, Rand McNally, New Jersey.jpg (18998 bytes)

Rand McNally, 1895-1911, New Jersey.  Printed color, about 12 1/2 by 9 1/4 inches. A detailed map depicting landforms, counties, rail road lines, cities and towns.   No road system is shown as yet.  The rail system evidences its importance.     Also includes a table on the left and right of the map of land area, counties and chief cities. The technology used to develop this map was so advanced as to make all other similar maps obsolete.   $25

 

(Because the size of the scanner is slightly smaller than the map, some of the border does not appear in the photograph)


Thumb, Century Atlas, New Jersey.jpg (15198 bytes)

    Matthew Northrup's Century Atlas, 1897-1911, New Jersey.  Printed color, about 10 1/2 by 15 inches.  A very fine "modern" looking map with a "piano key" border. The map depicts landforms, including contours showing elevations above sea level. Includes counties, rail lines, roads, cities and towns.   Also includes an inset of New York City and vicinity.  These are superb maps for accuracy and detail.  A map of choice for many collectors.  $45
