Printed 1850, Washington by U. S. Coast Survey

Engraved by H. M. Knight

Original mid- 19th Century lithograph map.

Printed on lithographic paper as issued which shows minor light signs of age, is slightly age toned- resulting in a nice patina, must be handled carefully, but remains sound.

In Good+ or better antiquarian condition, mostly clean overall, light minor age dustiness or light surface wear, small scattered spotting or age soiling as seen, original fold-lines as issued, trimmed unevenly along the bottom right edge with some short edge splitting, some minor edge splits, overall the map is clean and very attractive --

A detailed, scarce and interesting early nautical chart which could readily be collected on it's own merits, displayed or given as a present.
