H.S. Tanner is one of the most important cartographers in American History. As a publisher, he produced seminal works such as Mills Atlas of South Carolina. Perhaps his most important work is his American Atlas, which represented a breakthrough in quality, both in engraving and production, as well as the first elephant folio format atlas utilizing indigenous cartography to be published in the U.S. The atlas was published by Tanner and his son Thomas R. Tanner, for over 20 years.
