Bio
P.E. Hamm was a cartographer who worked for Henry Charles Carey and Isaac Lea (Carey & Lea) in the middle of the nineteenth century in Philadelphia. Carey was a political economist. He illustrated the nations of the western hemisphere through maps that showed an expanding region with promise of developing into lands of great new opportunity and growth.
The Family Cabinet Atlas, "Revised, Corrected and Enlarged", issued in 1832, was based on a British atlas of the same name, but with the plates re-engraved. These maps contained an impressive amount of detail for such images. Their size and hand color makes them as charming as they are interesting.
