B. Tunison's Georgia and South Carolina, by H. C. Tunison, circa 1885 (12.6 x 10.1"). This finely lithographed map features counties in original bright coloring in Tunison's unique style. By this period most mapmakers had adopted printed color rather than the more labor intensive hand coloring employed here. It is decorated with a Victorian-style border and title cartouche, which gives the population of Georgia as 1,542,180 and South Carolina as 995,557. Tunison's maps were printed on both sides; on the verso is half of the double-page map of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Condition: Clean and colorful with a few short archivally repaired edge tears. (A)
