PRESUMABLY NOT AUBREY. (MANUSCRIPT SCHOOL MAP.) Beardsley, A[chsah] (1815-1914). United States Drawn by A. Beardsley. Large manuscript map of the United States in pen and ink, yellow, brown, and green watercolor; completed, one would think, for a school project. 400x625 mm; backed on ?contemporary wove paper, small edge tear repaired on verso, very small portion of loss at center of the image, light foxing at far left. An attractive example of this genre of student mapmaking, rather more detailed than one often sees; including elevations shown in hachures. Cf., Rumsey 2454; 3136; 3602; 5442. Union, [Connecticut], 1830
