Shortly after the turn of the century, Samuel Lewis joined with Aaron Arrowsmith (an English map publisher) to produce A New and Elegant General Atlas. The title page states the maps are "intended to accompany the new improved edition of Morse's Geography…" Several editions were published from 1804-1819. This lot includes the following three maps from this atlas, each showing towns and villages, counties, early wagon roads, and extensive watershed detail:
A. New York (9.8 x 7.9"). Condition: A few minor spots in the lower portion of the image, else fine. (A)
B. Pennsylvania (9.8 x 7.9"). Condition: There is a minor stain along the bottom border, else clean and bright. (B+)
C. New Jersey (7.9 x 9.8"). Condition: Fine. (A+)
