Description
"The map shows a fantastic depiction of the Western United States, pre-dating the creation of Arizona Territory, Nevada, and Colorado Territories, and still showing massive Nebraska Territory, including all of the area which would become Wyoming Territory and Montana Territory. Several interesting early Territorial capital cities are shown, including Fillmore City, Utah. Several important early roads in the west are also located.
Jean Leon Sanis seems to have flourished from 1854 to 1861 when he and Delalleau de Bailliencourt published the Geographie Historique de la France - Atlas Special. The atlas was published for Napoleon III and was critical of the preceding governments. Most notably, the text opposite the map of France under Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis-Philippe, and the Second Republic (1815-1848) claimed that these regimes had not tried to modify the terms of the Congress of Vienna, terms that it alleged humiliated France. In addition, the atlas offered evidence of France's heroic and successful past.
It is quite possible that the map was prepared several years earlier, as the sole source for dating the map appears to be a catalog entry in an old journal, which may not necessarily reflect the first date of publication." (source B.L.Rudermann)
OCLC locates 2 examples of the map (British Library and Bibliotheque Nationale de France). No copies in American institutions.
6 sheets, unfolded and untrimmed and generally in fine condition—two very faint spots.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
