The
mid- to late-19th century was a time of prosperity for
American mapmakers and publishers. The Civil War, the growth of
railroads, and the westward expansion of the United States all contributed
to an increased demand for maps and atlases. Near the forefront
of the atlas publication industry for a quarter century was mapmaker
and aggressive marketer Alvin Jewitt Johnson.
Around 1860,
in a transaction that remains somewhat mysterious, Johnson acquired
a set of detailed plates from J.H.Colton, one of the foremost mapmakers
of the century, and used them to print the Johnson atlas that was
to find its way into homes across the country. Johnson’s New
Illustrated Family Atlas was first published in 1860, when the
territories of Colorado and Dakota were first making their appearance.
The publishers of the first edition of Johnson’s atlas were given
as Johnson and Browning; subsequent editions were published by Johnson
and Ward. In the first edition, Johnson and Browning were listed
as "successors to J.H.Colton and Company".
The
Johnson atlas was published in revised editions until 1885. Because
of the time period spanned by its publication, the different editions
of the Johnson atlas are an excellent chronicle of the westward
expansion of the United States, as well as the geographical effects
of the Civil War. Johnson maps are characterized by hand coloring
in red and green and distinctive borders, including iron scrollwork
and a Celtic design.
