Gray & Son, a prominent Philadelphia-based firm established in the late 1860s. Renowned for producing one of the most successful atlases ("Gray's National Atlas") and for being "one of the last to employ hand coloring on maps," their meticulous detail is evident here. Likely dating from the 1870s, this map provides a fascinating historical snapshot of the "Prairie State," clearly delineating counties, cities, towns, and significant geographical features. It offers valuable insights into Illinois' development in the post-Civil War era. An excellent find for collectors of antique maps, Illinois history enthusiasts, or as a distinctive decorative piece.
