MITCHELL, Samuel Augustus (1792-1868). Map of Florida According to the Latest Authorities... The West Indies from the Best Authorities . Philadelphia: S. A. Mitchell, 1834. Color lithographed map (432 x 542 mm). (Short split along one fold, repaired tear where mounted in binding.) Folded in original blue morocco gilt binding, gilt-lettered on front cover, Mitchell's printed paper label on inner front cover (some light rubbing to covers). In addition to the two sections devoted to Florida and the West Indies is a section on the comparative elevation of the principal mountains and cities in North America. According to Smith's Mapping of Ohio , Samuel Augustus Mitchell began to publish his series of tourist's pocket maps in 1834. Ristow and Schwartz & Ehrenberg also cite 1834 as the first year of the series, though David Rumsey has identified an 1831 tourist map of the state of Pennsylvania. Ristow American Maps & Mapmakers pp. 303-304.
