Genuine Antique Hand-Colored Map
1903
Maker: Richards.
Antique map of the state of Massachusetts with an inset map of the United States of America, published by Richards, in the Atlas of Plymouth County, 1903. Colored by county, with towns delineated, and showing the railroads of the time. Some of the railroads stops are indicated with stars, although it is not clear why. The inset map is colored by state. Although printed-color was common at this time, the coloring of this map appears to have been hand-done. Good to very good antique condition with some minor stains at center fold, some tears at the paper edges (with tape- unclear if it is archival), mild overall toning. Measures approx. 20 x 29.5 inches to the neatline with portions extending beyond the neatline.
