When we first opened the gallery in 1983, we thought we would limit our inventory of maps and charts to those of the Carolinas. That rapidly expanded to maps of the Southeast United States. Our collection has now grown to include maps and charts from around the world, some dating from as early as the 16th century. Antique maps are fascinating! While often highly decorative, they also tell the story of history. As interest in collecting antique maps has increased rapidly over recent years, their values have consistently risen and served as an additional incentive for investing in these rarities. Our inventory of maps and charts is constantly changing so please call and let us know your specific area of interest. The maps shown here on our website only represent a small portion of our inventory. If we do not have what you are looking for at the moment we will be pleased to help you locate it. |

Robert
Mills Maps from The Atlas of the State of South Carolina A protégé of Thomas Jefferson, Robert Mills is known to have helped define and shape the architectural symbolism of the early republic. Robert Mills trained under Jefferson becoming the first native-born American architect. He is most well known for the Washington Monument and the Smithsonian Institute, yet he was responsible for many other government buildings in Washington, D.C. In the South, his beautifully designed buildings are scattered throughout the state of South Carolina. The Atlas of the State of South Carolina was presented to the South Carolina State Senate in 1826. It was the first systematic atlas of any state in the union, and it was touted as being significantly better than comparable European publications. Mills devoted nearly 4 years of his life to this project. As an architect, surveyor and cartographer, he contributed to this vast project in a variety of ways. Responsible for producing the first atlas of an American state, he later noted that South Carolina was now acknowledged to be in advance of her sister states. The legend of each map bears the surveyor's name and notes that the map was improved for Mills' Atlas, 1825. Mills himself reprinted the Atlas in a rare edition in 1838. The second edition can be distinguished easily from the first because the year 1825 was erased from the printing plates before they were reused. Frequently the district maps of the first edition are not colored, but the ones of the second edition all seem to have boundaries of magenta watercolor.
