Antique hand colored wall map of Barnstable County, published in 1856 by H.F. Walling. With inset maps of Hyannis, Osterville, Barnstable Village, and Cotuit Port and Cotuit Highland.

Very good restored condition- archivally cleaned, deacidified. This map is backed with linen and hung on wooden rods with silk ribbon on edges. Approx. 32 x 27 inches to the neatline and approx. 36 x 34 overall including the wooden rods. **NOTE- because this map requires extra insurance for shipping, an additional charge will appear on your card after your original purchase.
