An attractive 19th-century map of the state of New Jersey, published in New York by Alvin Jewett Johnson for his renowned family atlas series. The map delineates counties in vibrant original hand-applied watercolor washes of pastel pink, olive green, and buff yellow. Neighboring regions, including portions of eastern Pennsylvania (featuring Philadelphia), southeastern New York (including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island), and northern Delaware, are finely engraved in grayscale relief. The map provides an intricate snapshot of mid-19th-century infrastructure during a pivotal era of industrial expansion, identifying early rail lines, shipping canals, common roads, coastal lighthouses, county seats, towns, and villages. The entire composition is framed by Johnson's iconic strapwork fretwork border adorned with corner stars and rosettes.
