Description: This is an original double page, steelplate engraved map of CALIFORNIA, NEVADA and OREGON from an 1886 Tunison's Peerless Universal Atlas. It has the vivid handcoloring for which Henry Tunison maps were renowned. By this period, most mapmakers had gone to printed color rather than the more labor intensive hand coloring used Nice pictorial inserts of the Big Trees of Mariposa County and Yosemite Valley. Single page maps of ARIZONA and COLORADO printed on the back side. Dimensions: The map image measures approximately 19-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches on a 22 by 14 page, as published. Condition: This map is in good condition, with no spots or stains on the map. Has some light soiling in the margin, which will disappear upon matting/framing. Has an old tear extending down from the top near the Tunison cartouche that has been fixed with archival tape on the rear. Not very noticeable, but is the reason the map's condition is rated only good instead of excellent. L ight, even overall toning gives a nice antique look to this 122-year old Tunison map and this will be beautiful framed. A nice example of this hard to find map from a very scarce atlas! Additional pictures gladly emailed if needed to aid your evaluation. Shipping: This item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. International bidders please email for shipping quote prior
