The American Continent. Topographical and railroad map of the United States, British Possessions, West Indies, Mexico and Central America. Compiled from the best authorities, by R. Rosa, late Col. 46th Regt. N.Y.S. Vol. Published by Ch. Lubrecht & Co., 12 Frankfort Street, New York. 1864. Agents For Great Britain: Bacon & Co., 48 Paternoster Row, London, England. For Germany, Switzerland And Italy: Fr. Volkmar, Leipsic. Lubrecht & Co., Stuttgart. Revised Edition. Entered ... 1864, by Ch. Lubrecht & Co. ... New York. (with) Central America.

1st edition. 2nd edition was1865, another edition in 1869 (Karrow 1-1683). German
edition published in 1864. (Karrow 1-1655). Inset of Central America, text on top of map
describing British American Possessions, Time Tables, and U.S. Census for 1860. We can
find no earlier edition of this map, so the "Revised Edition" is puzzling.
Lubrecht lists three foreign publishers for this map: Bacon in London, Volkmar in
Leipsic, and Lubrecht & Co. in Stuttgart. An edition in German is described in
Karrow. Later, this map became the more elaborate 1871 "American Union Railroad Map
of the United States..." by Hassis & Lubrecht, also published by D.L. Gurnsey
(see our copy, WH's copy, and Heaston Cat. 19 for a reproduction). The Proposed
transcontinental railroad is shown going south of Salt Lake City, Wyoming is still part
of Dakota, and a Proposed Southern Pacific Railroad runs from Fort Smith to Sacramento.
Full color by state. Map is dissected into 24 sections and mounted on linen. Folded into
black paper covered boards 24.5x21 with "The American Continent" stamped in
gilt. Relief shown by hachures.
