Antique Map of the British Isles (1848) — Jeremiah Greenleaf, New Universal Atlas

Published in 1848 by Jeremiah Greenleaf, this richly colored engraved map of the British Islands depicts England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales during the height of the 19th century’s cartographic refinement.
Drawn from Greenleaf’s New Universal Atlas, it reflects a period when the British Empire stood at its zenith, and the art of mapmaking balanced precision with elegance.

Each county is outlined in vivid color, with railroads, topography, and political boundaries carefully engraved. Relief is shown by hachures, and the Greenwich meridian is prominently marked, a nod to Britain’s defining role in global navigation.

Greenleaf’s atlas editions are prized among collectors for their clarity, accuracy, and restrained artistry. This particular map, one of the finest American renderings of the British Isles, stands as both a historical document and a timeless work of 19th-century craftsmanship.

Printed on archival paper and restored for contemporary display, it remains a classic of Victorian-era cartography, bridging science and art with lasting grace.
