Brian DiMambro- Antiquarian Books, Maps & Prints






The United States of America according to the Treaty of Peace of 1781.
Issued 1808, London.
Scarce early 19th century engraved map with lovely hand color. Orig. fold lines, edges slightly wrinkled, clean nice condition.
Worthy of note due to the assortment of temporary Land Grants shown which appear on only a handful of maps of this era.
All maps which capture these fascinating historical land speculation private investor schemes are desirable and collectible for this reason alone. They capture the appearance on maps what would have been large tracts of once public land quickly sold off by a few wealthy private investors to many public buyers. Liquidating government assets for personal gain one might say. hmmm.
Sheet measures c.8 5/8" H x9 1/8" W.
