You are bidding on a very and extremely rare 100% original and authentic 248 year old hand colored antique map of the above region by the English cartographer Thomas Kitchin. Cartographer/Publisher: Thomas Kitchin, an engraver and publisher from c.1738 to 1776, held the appointment of Hydrographer to the King. His output was prolific. He engraved the maps of the British and French dominions in North America by John Mitchell (1755), which was used at the peace coucil at the end of the revolutionary war. In his later years he worked with his son (hence senior after his name in the c.1755 edition of the Small English Atlas). He died in 1784. General Description: 1. Stunning and unbelievably colorful map of the region, with details of cities, rivers, land masses, and waterways . Notice the incredibly beautiful and detailed hand coloring. The map depicts the region in considerable detail and includes both political and topographical information. The map is far more beautiful than my pictures show and is in great condition. My photos do not even come close to showing the brilliant colors and details on the map. 2. The map is in great condition considering the age of the map. The overall size of the map sheet is approximately 7.5 inches by 6.5 inches. The map will look incredibly beautiful when matted and framed for display. 3. The map is a 100% original and genuine antique map. I will send you a copy of the title page from the year 1760 for your records. 4. Original maps from Kitchin sell for hundreds of dollars. Map Collecting: Maps are great gifts and perfect decorative additions to any home or office. They are compelling objects that instantly grab peopleÂ's attention and transport them to a different time and place. Owning an antique map is much like owning a window into the past. An antique map can be a veritable passage back in time, allowing one to imagine the world much as the mapmaker himself did 100, 200 or even 300 years ago! These are great collectibles not only for their decorative and art value but as a financial investment as well. Remember, these are becoming more rare everyday as collectors purchase them, and of course they are not making the atlases any longer, so purchase a map while they are still affordable. All of my maps are investment grade and collectible quality. The value of this original will only increase over time. Many people are now starting to offer cheap reproductions/copies. Why spend the money for something like that when you can have an original for a few dollars more that will only increase in value over time. ** I DO NOT SELL REPRODUCTIONS !!! ** Please also view all of my other maps for sale at very reasonable prices ** Please review all of my positive feeback of satisfied winners from past auctions.
