About this piece

Foreign elements of the American population in 1870, an original lithograph (Plate 28) from the Statistical Atlas of the United States based on the results of the ninth census 1870, compiled by Francis A. Walker and published in 1874. The sheet carries six small maps, numbered 5 to 10, covering the British American, the English and Welsh, and the Swedish and Norwegian populations, each shown twice: once in absolute numbers per square mile and once in proportion to the whole population.

Each map covers the United States east of the 100th meridian, drawn in outline with the Great Lakes and the coast, and printed with purple shading graded by a small scale at the lower right of each panel. The shading shows where each group had settled: the British Americans along the northern border and the Great Lakes, the English and Welsh in the manufacturing and farming states of the Northeast and Midwest, and the Swedes and Norwegians in the upper Mississippi valley, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The six maps are compiled from the returns of the ninth census.
