TANNER, Henry.

1786 - 1858

Henry Tanner began his career as an engraver for Melish. His large-folio American Atlas [issued in parts 1818- 1823] is an impressive work. The complete atlas was very expensive at $30.00, and Tanner created his smaller New and Elegant Universal Atlas which sold for $15.00 which went through a number of editions. Publication was taken over by Carey & Hart in 1843, and in 1846 by Samuel Augustus Mitchell.
