Additional Details

Very unusual map of the Hudson River from New York City to the junction of the Mohawk River measuring over 15 feet in length. No maker or publisher's information appears readily identifiable, but the level of detail and style are reminiscent of 19th-century wall maps issued by Henry Francis Walling and others.
