Issued 1798, Philadelphia. Engraved by J.T. Scott.

Charming late 18th century engraved miniature map, with lovely hand color. Of note for being engraved and produced within the young United States prior to 1800, one of a small handful maps of this country produced in that era (the vast majority having been engraved/ made outside the U.S.).

Nice looking example, pleasing age patina, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
