Lovely engraved map based on the cartography by C. Franz Radefeld (1788-1874) showing the Arkansas, Mississipi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida Panhandle. Inset of New Oreleans suurndings. From the “Meyer’s Neuester Zeitungs Atlas” published by Bibliographischen Instituts in Hildburghausen in 1849-52. The innovation of this work is that almost all maps had small inserts showing richly detailed maps of major cities and their surrunding areas: so not only could travellers carry the atlas with them
