Henry McIntyre (fl. 1850s) was an American publisher of maps between 1850 and 1852. His surviving output focused exclusively on large city plans of New England towns - Boston, Lynn, Salem (1851), Danvers, Newburyport (1851), and Norwich, Connecticut - in spite of many of his works being actually printed in Philadelphia. It would appear that, like many more successful map and atlas publishers, McIntyre produced a handful of large, impressive maps either on a subscription model or as a speculative venture. The extremely short period of time during which McIntyre’s maps were produced suggests that his efforts were insufficiently fruitful. We find no trade advertisements for McIntyre’s map ventures in the newspaper record, and indeed, we find no biographical information for him whatsoever. (Perhaps had he been more assiduous at placing advertisements, this would not have been the case.) His offices were located at the N.E. Corner of Perry and Pine Streets, although which city these streets are/were in remain a mystery. More by this mapmaker...

He became an American citizen in 1851, and partnered with his citizenship sponsor Norman Friend to form the lithographic firm of Friend and Aub. During the Civil War he In 1861, Aub joined the Union Army, serving as quartermaster, but his military career does not seem to have spanned the entire war: in 1863 he left both lithograph and the military to join the silk manufacturing firm of Aub, Hackenburg & Company.
