Additional Details

A dealer's catalog entry for the map relates a contention that this edition of the chart was actually published by the Arrowsmith firm. This would make for an interesting footnote in the history of that august mapmaking dynasty. Barrett, Baja California, 2543; Orozco y Berra 1274; Rumsey 4233.
