[MAP] Johnson's Austria, Turkey in Europe, and Greece. New York: Johnson and Browning, c. 1861. [10397] Large double-plate hand-colored map, 46 x 67.5 cm (18 x 26 3/4 inches), clean, suitable for framing. Will ship folded at center, as found. Removed from a bound volume, Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas. Very good.  This map shows roads, railroads, rivers, counties, and locales. The countries and districts are hand-painted in colors. There are inset illustrations of the Mosque of St. Sophia and of the Island of Candia. The Johnson and Browning imprint dates this map between 1860 and 1862.  Alvin Jewett Johnson (1827-1884), b. Wallingford, Vermont; school teacher, for some years a book and map seller for J. H. Colton and Co. After some efforts at publishing his own maps, Johnson found success with his Family Atlas, publishing them in Richmond, Virginia and in New York City beginning in 1860. He and his partner Ross C. Browning (1822-1899) evidently purchased rights to Colton's map
