Rare full color printer's proof state, from Carey's Pocket Atlas. Shows travel routes, towns, topography, rivers, and harbors. The map is printed on a much larger sheet of paper, approximately 12 x 9.5, with extremely wide page margins on 3 sides. Early American Printer's proof copies are extremely rare on the market, especially with full hand coloring, prior to Carey's first offer of colored works for sale. Following the publication of Carey's American Atlas in 1795, there were a small group of 18th Century works which included a complete set of state maps, including John Reid's American Atlas, Joseph T. Scott's Gazetteer, Carey's Pocket atlas and works by Jeddidiah Morse. This small group of maps and the few separately issued maps of the region, which are now virtually unobtainable, mark the beginnings of the indigenous cartographic publishing business in America, and are now highly soughtafter.
