The Rarest Atlas Map of the State of Florida
Extremely rare map of Florida (in the year it became a state), published Tanner's New General Atlas, published in New York City by Tanner's Geographical Establishment, written and engraved by Joseph Perkins.
The map pre-dates the formation of Levy County (1845), Holmes County (1848) and Putnam County (1849).
Tanner's New General Atlas was issued following Tanner's sale of his Universal Atlas to Samuel August Mitchell. The Universal Atlas, which had been pubished in Philadelphia from 1836 to 1845. Tanner's New General Atlas, for which Anthony Finley was also a collaborator, is one of the rarest 19th Century American atlases.
