“OHIO” Massachusetts: Thomas Gamaliel Bradford, c. 1838, dated in the lower margin. (Image: 14 ¼ x 11 1/8’’) Excellent condition and color with two archivally closed tears in margin (not into map).
Very fine & beautifully engraved map with original hand-coloring. Engraved by G. W. Boynton (owner of an engraving company in Boston 1830’s - 40’s). From An Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical and Historical of the United States and Adjacent Countries by T. G. Bradford. Reference Phillips Atlases #1381.
This exceptionally handsome map depicts Ohio with the counties named and in contrasting pastel colors. Topographical features are shown with various land routes, water routes, cities and towns identified. A very interesting and very scarce view of the region as it existed in the early 19th century.
