''ILLINOIS'' Massachusetts: Thomas Gamaliel Bradford, c. 1838. Reference Phillips Atlases #1381. (Image: 14 3/8 x 11 1/4‘’)
Very fine & beautifully engraved map with original hand-coloring. Engraved by G. W. Boynton (owner of an engraving company in Boston 1830’s - 40’s). From An Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical and Historical of the United States and Adjacent Countries by T. G. Bradford.
This handsome map depicts Illinois with the counties named and in contrasting pastel colors. Topographical features are shown with various land routes, (including several railroads) and water routes identified. Most cities, towns, and Post Offices are located. A very interesting and very scarce view of the region as it existed in the early 19th century.
