From "A Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas..." of 1822.<br> <br> The Philadelphia-based firm of Carey & Lea of Philadelphia was one of the most important publishers in the early 19th-century United States. Run by Mathew Carey (1760-1839) and Isaac Lea (1792-1886), the company worked with both books and maps, specializing particularly in political commentary. Their "Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas," first published in 1822, contained some of the earliest maps of western states being admitted to the Union, accompanied by extension information about those states.
