| Summary: | Related to Williams' New Nat. Map for Mitchell. Compare to 1857 and 1860 Mitchell New National Map exhibiting the United States. We assume that this Williams is the son of Wellington Williams and that he took over his father's map and reissued it. It is interesting to see that John M. Atwood published this map - it appears that he not only published maps, but also drew them for others, i.e. Colton and Ensign & Thayer. Inset maps include: Island Of Newfoundland; Massachusetts, Rhode Island & Connecticut; The Atlantic Ocean Showing The Communications By Cable And Steam Between Europe And The United States; Is. Of Porto Rico; Virgin Is. And S. Cruz; Islands Of Japan .; Map Of The Great Pacific Ocean With It's Shores And Islands; Alaska; and The Sandwich Islands Or Hawaiian Group. Full color by state. Map is dissected into 36 sections and folds into a new green cloth folding case 29x29 with "United States, Canada, Mexico &c. G.W. Williams 1876" stamped in gilt on the spine.
