Sidney Morse Biography

Sidney E. Morse (1794–1871), son of the noted geographer Jedidiah Morse, was a prominent American inventor, journalist, and mapmaker. He is best known for his innovative contributions to cartography, particularly through the development of Morse's Cerographic Maps in the 1830s, which utilized a wax-engraving process to create affordable and easily reproducible maps. Sidney co-founded the New York Observer in 1823, a leading religious newspaper, and later published The Cerographic Atlas of the United States (1842), a groundbreaking work that made accurate maps widely accessible. His techniques advanced the field of mapmaking, particularly in terms of affordability and mass distribution.

States of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa

A rare antique map of the Midwest, from Rogers & Johnston's Atlas of the United States, one of the most attractive American atlases of the 19th century. This atlas was an unusual collaboration between an American, Englishman, and Scot. The map is a fragment of Rogers & Johnston's excellent and equally rare wall map. The map names counties, towns, rivers, Indian tribes, and more. The evolution of the Rogers & Johnston work extends to 1873 when a modified example of the wall map was issued in Atlas form, first as the People's Pictorial Atlas by J. David Williams and later as the Jones Historical Atlas, two of the rarer and more interesting late 19th-century American works. An important rarity for map collectors of this region.
