Genuine Antique Hand-Colored Map
1880
Maker: Walker.
Antique hand-colored map of Cape Cod, from the Walker Atlas of Barnstable County, 1880. Townships delineated by color. This map was produced before Bourne split from Sandwich in 1884. For reasons unknown, Yarmouth and Dennis are colored the same color on every example of this map that we have seen, despite the fact that Dennis split from Yarmouth in 1793. It was likely only a mistake in the coloring. Good to very good condition with mild toning, and slight darkening at center fold (this is where the tab paper was glued on the back to attach the map to the atlas and is quite common). Measures approx. 16 x 26.5 inches.
