Gray, a prominent Philadelphia-based publishing firm in the 1870s. O.W. Gray & Son were well-known for their comprehensive atlases, particularly their "National Atlas," and were one of the most successful commercial ventures of the late nineteenth century. Notably, they were among the last to employ hand-coloring for their maps, which may be evident in this piece.The map provides a detailed view of Missouri, showcasing its counties, cities, towns, waterways, and geographical features as they appeared in the 1870s. The intricate details and potential for original hand-coloring offer a fascinating glimpse into the state's development during the post-Civil War era. This map is a valuable piece for collectors of antique cartography, regional history, or those with a connection to Missouri's past. Ideal for framing, it combines historical accuracy with the artistry of 19th-century mapmaking. See less
