You are bidding on a very beautiful engraved and rare 100% original and authentic 172 year old hand colored antique map of the above region and printed in the above year from Thomas Bradford's A Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical & Commercial . These atlas are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Complete atlases are currently being offered at antiquarian bookstores at prices that can range between $3,000 to $5,000 !!! Individual maps can sell for many hundereds of dollars at map and art galleries. This is NOT a copy or reproduction and is an original!! Publisher: Thomas G. Bradford ran one of the first important American map publishing firms out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bradford's maps were among the first to raise the quality American cartography to European standards. His maps reappeared in later editions by other publishing houses well into the 1840s. General Description: 1.Interesting and very detailed map. This stunning map is a steel plate lithograph displays original outline hand coloring. Sage colored border. Political boundaries as well as individual regions/counties and shows towns, roads, railways, rivers, lakes, bays, harbors, islands and other important places. 2. The map is in excellent condition considering the age of the map. The overall size of the map sheet is large at approximately 13 inches by 10 inches. 3. The map is a 100% orignal and genuine antique map. 4. Full retail value can easily be many times my starting price. Map Collecting: Maps are great gifts and perfect decorative additions to any home or office. They are compelling objects that instantly grab people'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.
