Description
A beautiful, large-scale map of the Americas. Alaska is named as 'Russian America', Texas is still a part of Mexico, yet to become a republic (1836), before finally becoming a member of the USA.(1845). California is still part of Mexico. Physical features shown.
Published in the year of the outbreak of the Texas Revolution (1835 – 1836). The revolution began October 2, 1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of Anglo-American settlers in Texas. Although the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation.
The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners fighting against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and fighting under no recognized flag".
Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas. It was eventually annexed by the United States about a decade later.
The Arrowsmith family members were among the most respected and influential cartographers of the nineteenth century. Taken from 'The London Atlas of Universal Geography…' John Arrowsmith (1790-1873) joined his uncle, Aaron Arrowsmith in mapmaking in London in 1810.
Upon the death of his uncle in 1823, the business was carried on by Aaron's two sons, Samuel and Aaron. In 1839, John took over the business. This atlas was first published in 1834.
His maps were very numerous, and their neatness and finished style gained John a very extensive reputation.
