Bibliographic information
| Note | Last edition published by Tanner. First edition to have the Bradford map of Texas. See Michigan map in this and the 1836 and 1843 editions for interesting changes in the shoreline of the peninsula. Disturnell's name appears on the map publishing credits along with Tanner's, as Tanner and Disturnell, 124 Broadway, New York (which is the same address used by Colton until 1840 - it appears there may have been a link between Tanner, Colton, Smith and Disturnell at this time). Because the name T.R. Tanner also appears on the map credits, we assume the Tanner of Tanner and Disturnell is T.R. Tanner, son of H.S. and Disturnell's junior partner in N.Y.C. (Ristow p318). This edition also includes a unique map of New York City by J. Calvin Smith and published by Tanner and Disturnell, that does not appear in any other editions. Full color. Bound in half leather, brown cloth covered boards, with "Tanner's New Universal Atlas." stamped in gilt on the front cover. |
