This is a scarce Thomas Cowperthwait and S. A. Mitchell's 1854 map of Europe. It covers the entirety of the continent, including Iceland and parts of Turkey, from the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Atlantic Ocean eastward as far as the Caspian Sea. The whole is engraved and colored in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels. Political and topographical features are noted and color coded with elevation rendered by hachure. The left and right sides of the map proper features tables of general statistics.

Mitchell reveals the Austrian empire at its height, the many states of the German Confederacy, and a pre-Garibaldi Italy split into numerous small Duchies and states. This map was created during an exciting historical period that witnessed the unification of Italy and saw the British Empire rise to its peak.

This map was prepared by S. A. Mitchell for publication by the Philadelphia firm of Thomas Cowperthwait and Co. in the 1854 edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas. Dated and copyrighted, 'Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1854 by Thomas Cowperthwait and Co. in the Clerk's office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.'
