A. J. Johnson's beautifully hand colored 1864 map of Europe. This map shows cities, topographical features, railways, ferries and roads with color coding at the regional level. The routes of various explorers, including Cook, Byron, Carteret, and others, are shown. In contrast to most Johnson maps, the sea is here rendered in a pale blue.

Johnson and Ward as plates 72-73 in the 1864 edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas . This is the first edition of the Johnson's Atlas to bear the Johnson & Ward imprint and the only edition to identify the firm as the "Successors to Johnson and Browning (Successors to J. H. Colton and Company)".
