Doolittle, Curtis Miller (sold)
Curtis Miller Doolittle (August 26, 1799 - June 1, 1849) was an American artist, printer, and engraver. He was born in Westfield, Connecticut, the son of Amos Doolittle (1776 - 1858). Based upon the dates, this is not Amos Doolittle (1754 - 1832) the great American engraver, but may be his son, 'A. B. Doolittle', making Curtis Miller Doolittle his grandson. He relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio, sometime in the 1830s. From 1836, he partnered with Samuel Bishop Munson (1806 - 1880), likely a cousin, to found the bank note and map engraving firm of 'Doolittle and Munson.'

The rare 1836 Edmund F. Lee map of Texas and accompanying History of Texas by David Barnett Edward - a seminal work published on the eve of the March 1836 Texan Revolution and founding of the Republic of Texas. The map is loosely derived from the Stephen Austin map, the only readily available source at the time, but has been reduced and revised by Lee for smaller format publication. It unveils Texas extending from the Sabine to the Nueces River and from Corpus Christi to the Red River. A note in the lower left expresses the Texan ambition to extend the boundary west as far as the Rio Grande. The map notes several early Texas Empresario Land Grants, including: 'McMullen and McGlone', Woodbury, Cameron (2), 'Austin and Williams', Austin, DeWitt, Austin's Colony, De Leon, Burnet, Powers, Whelin, Zavallo, and Felisola.
