An Atlas of the State of New York

David Burr, 1829

BURR, David (1803-1875). An Atlas of the State of New York, containing a map of the State and several counties. Sponsored and with text by Simeon DEWITT (1756-1834). New York: David Burr, 1829.



First edition of Burr's landmark New York state atlas, only the second state atlas to be published. "The Burr Atlas marks a major change. The whole state, the major city, each and every county is depicted in a uniform style and scale, with accompanying standardized statistical information and narrative. The state is given shape and form and substance in this atlas ... It looks like a modern atlas; it is a modern atlas and the forerunner of many state atlases to come" (Short, p.85ff). The map of New York City is particularly impressive, on two joined sheets, with an elaborate engraved cartouche, bright color, and Manhattan already shown in grids all the way north to 155th Street. Howes B-1017; Sabin 19873; Short, Representing the Republic: Mapping the U.S. 1600-1900, 2001.
