 GERMANY MAP 12 - Northern
Germany - 1828 -11" x 14" - Price $9.95 Produced by the Arrowsmith Map Company in
1828. Aaron Arrowsmith was born on July 15, 1750, in Durham, England. He moved
to London around 1770 and around 1780 found employment with the firm of John
Cary, an already established engraver and cartographer. His 1796 maps of North
America and 1807 maps of Scotland are considered his best works. Shortly after
1800, Arrowsmith joined with an American partner, and in 1804 they produced
their first atlas. Arrowsmith's maps were known for their accuracy and were an
important resource for planning Lewis and Clark's journey. His reputation as a

Majesty. He was also a founder of the Royal Geographical Society. He died in
1833, but his company was continued by his sons and nephew.

 GERMANY MAP 14 - Germany
- 1840 - Price $9.95 This decorative map was taken from Tanner's Universal Atlas. The
original map is 10 5/8" x 9 1/4". This reprint was slightly modified to
accommodate our archival page protectors.
Henry Schenck Tanner is considered one of America's
greatest cartographers of the first part of the nineteenth century. Henry was
born in New York City in 1786. He moved to Philadelphia in 1810 to join his
older brother, Benjamin, who was an established engraver trained by Peter
Maverick, one of New York City's earliest engravers. Henry worked as Benjamin's
apprentice and engraved for John Melish, one of Philadelphia's earliest
cartographers. In 1816, Henry and Benjamin joined with John Vallance and Frances
Kearny to form the engraving firm of Tanner, Vallence, Kearny and Co. Henry may
have conceived the idea of creating an American atlas when he worked for Melish.
The work was begun in 1819 by the firm of Tanner, Vallence, Kearny and Co. Henry
eventually took over the project. The first "edition" of Henry Tanner's American
Atlas was published in five folios between 1819 and 1823. The first 1819 folio
contained no North American maps. The first North American maps appeared in the
second folio, which was released in late 1819. The American Atlas was considered
to be "one of the most magnificent atlases ever published of the United
States" and was a huge success. His success inspired Tanner to produce his
Universal Atlas. This atlas contained excellent maps of each state, focusing on
the transportation network, including roads, railroads and canals. All details
are clearly presented, and these include towns, rivers, mountains, political
boundaries and the transportation information. In 1841 Carey and Hart issued an
edition of the Tanner Universal Atlas, and later the maps were purchased by
Samuel Augustus Mitchell and then Thomas Cowperthwait and Company. Tanner died
in 1856.

 GERMANY MAP 16 - Germany
- 1886 - Price $9.95 This beautiful map comes from George F. Cram's Unrivaled Family Atlas of the
World, published in 1886 by the George F. Cram Company, Inc. George Franklin
Cram was born on May 28, 1842, and served in the Civil War including Sherman's
"March to the Sea." On March 18, 1867, Cram and his uncle, Rufus
Blanchard, founded the company of Blanchard & Cram in Evanston, Illinois.
The company manufactured and sold maps and atlases. In March of 1869, George
formed the George F. Cram Company and moved the company to Chicago. His company
was a supply house for traveling book salesmen. In October of 1871, after the
Great Chicago Fire, the George F. Cram Company was rebuilt and renamed The Cram
Map Depot. This company sold maps and atlases. In 1875 the company started to
publish a wide variety of atlases, including the popular Unrivaled Atlas of the
World series, which was continuously in print from the 1880s to 1952. In May of
1921, George F. Cram retired and sold his company to one of its largest
customers, E. A. Peterson, of the National Map Company. National Map (had
previously been named the Scarborough Company at its location in Boston) had
been started in 1882. The companies were combined at 32 East Georgia Street in
Indianapolis. George F. Cram died on March 24, 1928. The company is still in
business in Indianapolis, under his name.
