Description
[Map]. John Disturnell. Mapa de los Estados Unidos de Mejico. Segun lo organizado y definido por las varias actas del Con- greso de dicha Republica: y construido por las mejores autoridades. 41.5" x 30" (sight). Nueva York: J. Disturnell, 1846. Second Disturnell edition, third Martin edition. Large hand-colored Spanish issue of Disturnell's famous and significant map of Mexico, Texas and portions of the United States. With three insets: "Tabla de Distancias," "Tabla Estadistica," and "Carta de los Caminos &c Desde Vera Cruz y Alvarado a Mejico." Handsomely engraved vignette of an eagle of liberty to right of title. This map matches all points for the third edition; dated 1846, trail line running directly from San Antonio to Austin, lacking "Revised Edition" in title, and a small lake added at the head of the first branch on the east side of "Rio Sn. Marco" north of the city of Gonzales. A faint incompletely obscured copyright imprint in the lower right corner distinguishes that this edition was printed from the same plate as the 1828 White, Gallaher & White map. Originally issued as a folding pocket map, it is framed here without the binding to the overall size of 53" x 41.5". Not examined outside of the frame.A later 1847 edition was used in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; however, this earlier printing remains historically significant as it was issued following the outbreak of the conflict when demand for accurate maps of the area raised exponentially. According to Martin-Ristow, Robert E. Lee was in possession of one of the 1846 editions "and commented upon it in January 1848 when he was assisting Trist in determining whether San Diego was in Upper California or Lower California." Disturnell's editions remain among the most significant Texana maps of the nineteenth century.
Reference: Ristow-Martin, "John Disturnell's Map of the United Mexican States," A la Carte, pages 204-221 (for detailed accounting of "editions"); Streeter 254 (earlier 1846 edition).
Condition: Evidence of professional restoration throughout, including to minor paper loss at a few intersections and folds. 3.5" separation along one horizontal fold. Very lightly toned at folds. Minor scattered foxing.
