''MAINE'' Philadelphia: Anthony Finley, c. 1827, from The New General Atlas. Very fine engraved map with full original hand-coloring.(Image: 11 1/4 x 8 1/2'')
This handsome historical map depicts Maine with its counties named and in contrasting colors. Topographical features are depicted with major cities, towns, mountains, islands and waterways identified. Major wagon roads are shown, and the ''Indian Village'' and "French Settlement" are located.
The controversial boundary question concerning the Northern Section between Maine, New Brunswick and Quebec, had its beginnings in vague or erroneous references taken from the John Mitchell map of 1755. The Northern boundary of Maine was finally established as part of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842.
A fine example from Finley’s atlas, which was highly praised for its elegance and clarity.
