A bit of background, courtesy of the David Rumsey Collection:
In 1846 Mitchell took over the publishing of this atlas and continued
until 1849, after which it was published until 1860 by Thomas,
Cowperthwait and then Charles DeSilver. This atlas is important in
American printing history in that it was the first American atlas to be converted
from engraved map plates to lithographic map plates - greatly reducing cost
of production and thus making the book more widely affordable by the general public.
