Additional Details

A scarce and attractive early American map, with the boundaries of each county hand-colored. The date has been determined by advertisements for its sale in several 1815 issues of the Poughkeepsie Journal. The only copy we could locate to have appeared at auction was in the Mark Babinski collection sold by Swann Galleries in 2005. Not listed in Phillips.
