Smith, Mason, and Company (sold)
Smith, Mason, and Company (fl. 1850 - 1865) was a map publishing firm with offices in several cities, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Troy, and Manchester, NH. They published numerous county wall maps, mostly focusing on New England, through the second half of the 19th century. The plethora of offices and addresses on their imprints suggests a large business, but the reality may be that most of these were little more than addresses and short-term annexes established to promote and sell individual maps. The firm was operated by Horace Mason, but due to the commonality of this name, we have had some difficulty identifying him. Smith likely refers to 'H. and C.T. Smith', prominent map publishers in their own right. There are papers associated with Smith, Mason, and Company preserved at the Library of Congress, which remain undigitized but which may illuminate this firm.
