Gray & Son, a prominent Philadelphia-based firm established in the late 1860s. Renowned for producing one of the most successful atlases and for being "one of the last to employ hand coloring on maps," G.W. Gray & Son's attention to detail is evident here. Likely dating from the 1870s, this unique map visualizes average annual rainfall across Maryland and Delaware, with isolines (e.g., 38 in., 42 in., 46 in.) indicating precipitation levels. An inset map provides additional geological context. This rare piece is a testament to 19th-century scientific cartography, offering a fascinating glimpse into historical climate studies and the intricate mapping techniques of the era. See less
