Genuine Antique Map
1797
Maker: Russell / C. Dilly & G.G. & J. Robinson/ Guthrie
Antique map engraved by Russell and published in 1797 by C. Dilly & G.G. & J. Robinson, possibly included a Guthrie atlas. Hand-colored. This map truly demonstrates how important the rivers were for exploring North America, as most of the knowledge on this map is along the coast or a river. Includes information about Indiginous people locations. Maine is quite small, a reflection of the British claims. The Rocky Mountains are called the Stony Mountains. Very good antique condition with mild toning, and some minor spots. Minor separation at bottom can be archivally repaired. Measures approx. 7.25 x 9 inches to the neatline.
