Issued 1824, 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, short closed 1/2" split at bottom left edge in blank margin outside the bottom neat line, 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.

Engraved Area Measures c. 8 1/4" H x 10" W.
