Graham, Andrew B. (sold)
Andrew B. Graham (1845 - September 9, 1909) was an American lithographer active in Washington, D.C. in late 19th and early 20th century. Graham was born in Washington D.C., the son of a lithographer and engraver. After college, he joined the U.S. Coast Survey, where he was a draftsman until 1889. He retired from the Coast Survey to take over management of his father's lithography firm. The firm, Andrew B. Graham Company, was one of several that thrived on lucrative government publication contracts. Graham died of 'brain fever' in his Washington D. C. residence on September 9 of 1909. Some of his work was republished posthumously until about 1917, and his firm was active until at least the early 1920s.

A most fascinating production, this is a fine example of the 1907 first edition of the Berthrong / Bond map of the United States showing exploratory routes and improved roads. The base map is a reduction of the General Land Office map of the United States issued annually from 1899 to illustrate the extending and progress of the Public Surveys. That map has here been overlayed with color-coded routes illustrating the most prominent explorations from the 1500s through the mid-19th century. In addition, it shows important roads then in being built or improved, including the National highway, Braddock Road, the Great Trail. The map was intended to demonstrate the current state of geographical knowledge and underscore the fact that - by 1907, little was left unexplored. (more details)
