1838 / 1846
Maker: Bradford
Antique hand-colored map of Tennessee with counties delineated by color. This map was published by Bradford in his Universal Illustrated Atlas, which was first printed in 1838, with editions in the years following until 1848. All of the maps in these atlases have the same year printed in the lower left, regardless of the actual year of publication, and this map may be slightly later. Includes the early railroad from Memphis to La Grange, and a mystery railroad connecting Asheville NC to Knoxville TN, which may or may not have actually existed (we were unable to find any information about it - it may have been an abandoned project). Beautiful original color. Good overall antique condition, with some small stains. Measures approx. 14.25 x 11.25 inches.
