Note:	Czar James Dyer 'C. J. Dyer': An interesting nineteenth century artist and cartographer, Czar James Dyer enlisted in the United States Navy at the age of eighteen and served aboard the U.S.S. Mattabassett in the Civil War. At war's end he apparently moved back to his native city of Jackson, Michigan and provided lithographs for both American and Canadian publications. In this original lithograph of the Knitting Mills of Paris Ontario, for example, he has signed his name, "C. J. Dyer, Jackson, Mich." The two illustrations of the residences of Cornelius Clump and Christopher Barker along the lower margin also bear his signature. During this period Dyer worked for California and New York State atlases, as well as Canadian atlases.
	By 1880 C. J. Dyer was residing in Oakland, California. Within several years he had moved to the Arizona Territory and was appointed the official mapmaker for the rapidly expanding city of Phoenix. Entering politics, Czar James Dyer served as a city councilman during the mid 1880's and was the interim mayor in 1889.
	The Canadian County Atlas: Less than a decade after Confederation, the publication of large, fully detailed County Atlases can be looked upon as a matter of newly born Canadian pride. Single and double sized maps accurately examined Ontario settlements, cities, towns, villages and the surrounding countryside. Individual lithographs of prominent buildings, mills, factories, businesses and even private homes were featured. Each Ontario County was represented in specific volumes and no Canadian venture in cartography has to this day been as important and as wide sweeping as this massive 1873 publication.
	Of greatest interest are the actual views of towns and settlements, such as this original lithograph depicting the Ontario Kitting Mills in Paris, Ontario. These images provide a vital historical record of Canada's early history.
