Maps-l and Maphist Recipients: I have been studying the World Atlases of Alvin J. Johnson from 1860-1887. My study has focused on identifying and describing the numerous states of the US maps. To date I have identified 64 different maps with over 570 states. I have had trouble finding atlases from the years 1875 to 1879. There was a news article in the Map Collector last fall asking for information on Johnson atlases from these years. In response I learned of an 1877 atlas at Northwestern University. I have also found a partial 1879, and a partial 1877. I would appreciate information on any other complete or partial atlases in libraries, private collections, or dealer's stock (breakers are acceptable) from those years. In addition, I am trying to develop a list of all publicly available Johnson World Atlases for publication. So I would appreciate it if you could take the time and send or e-mail citations to me on all Johnson atlases that you have in your collections. I've tried to get them off the electronic catalogs, but they are often incomplete. I already have listings from the LOC, NYPL, Yale, Newberry, and Brown Libraries. Thank you. My address is: Ira S.
