Issued 1826, Boston by Cummings and Hilliard. Engraved by H. Morse.
Uncommon early 19th century antique American engraved map with original outline hand color.
Map displays well visually- some light overall dustiness, small spotting or surface soiling, short edge splits, still a well preserved, nice looking example. The various age flaws seen in the pics give the map a nice look of age patina not seen on newer maps.
Sheet Measures c. 8" H x 6 1/2" W.
Engraved Area Measures c. 7" H x 5 3/4" W.
