Lovely and uncommon 18th century engraved map with fine hand color.
Printed 1796, Boston for J. Morse.
Engraved by Amos Doolittle. Hand colored (later). .
In Good condition, typical paper wrinkling, a pleasing if not superior visual example well suited for gift giving or public display.
Left side margin extended approx. 1/2" with old paper and some small re-instatement to graticule and border lines, top blank margin nicely extended c. 5/16" with similar old paper. Centerfold with some expert paper casting to strengthen. These well done repairs blend in visually and are easy to overlook or miss when viewing the map.

Engraved area c. 11 1/2" W x 7 1/2" H.
