Description: This is an original 1868 map of South America from Mitchell’s New Intermediate Geography. The map is colored.

He was born in Connecticut. Mitchell worked as a teacher before turning to publishing geography textbooks and maps. He became involved in geography after teaching and realizing that there were so many poor quality geographical resources available to teachers. He moved to Philadelphia in either 1829 or 1830. He was in Philadelphia when he founded his company. In the 1850’s, his copyrights were purchased by Desilver and Co. which continued to publish his maps until Mitchell’s son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell, Jr. repurchased the copyrights. In the 1860’s, the son published his own New General Atlas and carried the Mitchell name into the late 1880’s when the copyrights were again sold ending the Mitchell family business. 9 ½” x 11 ¾” overall. This does have a few spots on the map and printed text on the back for the West Indies. Binder holes down the side. See scans. *Title page not included, but a copy is available if desired.
