Henry Tanner's New American Atlas, 1823 - With Congressional Provenance

TANNER, Henry S. (1786–1858). A New American Atlas containing maps of the Several States of the North American Union. Projected and drawn on a Uniform Scale from Documents found in the public Offices of the United States and State Governments, and other Original and Authentic Information. Philadelphia: H.S. Tanner, 1823. First edition. Comparables: PBA, 2003 - $48,875; Sotheby's, 2021 - $37,800. WITH CONGRESSIONAL PROVENANCE Broadsheet (23 3/4” x 16 5/8”): binder’s blank, π-2π1 A-I1 [$1 signed]. 11 leaves, pp. [4] (half-title, blank, index, blank), 1 2-18. With an engraved title-page, 16 double-sheet hand-colored engraved maps and 3 folding hand-colored engraved maps (one three sheets, one eight sheets). Bound in contemporary half red sheep over marbled boards. On the spine, eight transverse double gilt fillets. In the panels, gilt fleurons. Author and title gilt in the second panel. Conserved in February 2021 by James and Stuart Brockman (full report available). Some foxing, offsetting and tanning to the text and maps. Signed by John H. Bryan on the title-page and on the index (Jn. H. Bryan). Altogether an exceptionally sound copy in its original trappings. Henry Schenk Tanner (1786–1858) was a New-York-born cartographer who pioneered the field of cartographic epidemiology; his 1832 account of the 1817 cholera epidemic combined up-to-date maps with public health data to comprehend the spread of the disease. Tanner’s survey of the U.S. (the magnificent eight-sheet map shows the country in its North American context, and would go on to be republished many times throughout the XIXc) is distinguished by its exceptionally accurate and detailed plates of the states. Collated as it was from authorities held in statehouses, the atlas was slow in production and expensive; it was issued in parts from 1819 to 1823. The present copy is the first edition in book form, distinguished by its 18 pages of preliminaries (fewer in the 3- and 5-part issues). John Herritage (or Heritage) Bryan (1798–1870) was a Representative from North Carolina from 1825 to 1829. While in the House, he served on the Committee on Roads and Canals. Bryan was a trustee of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill for more than four decades (1823-1868). Howes T 29; Phillips 3669; Sabin 94319; Wheat, Transmississippi II p. 82 and n.1.
