Description

Rare Full Original Publisher's Color

Exceptional old color example of Mathew Carey's map of Pennsylvania, one of the best large format maps of the state to appear in a commercial atlas.

The map is attractively hand-colored by counties, showing towns, roads, mountains, rivers, lakes, and a host of other early important details.

This first appeared in Carey's General Atlas, which was published in 1814. This was the first American Atlas to be offered for sale with outline hand coloring on the maps. This is the second full original color example we have seen (1992-2024).

Condition Description

Engraving on 19th-century laid paper. Original hand-coloring. Minor offsetting. Very minor foxing.
