-- ================================================ MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ================================================ Subject: Johnson firm Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 From: Boardman, Richard <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Hi, I'm looking for both some biographical background on D.G. Johnson and his 1857 wall map of the United States. I've found bits and pieces about both but nothing much in depth. I have a patron who has the map and would like information on Johnson and his firm and where this map falls in his publishing output. I've checked Ristow but Johnson seems to fall under the larger Colton shadow. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Rich Boardman Free Library of Philadelphia
