Original hand-colored map of North America, published by Charles DeSilver in Philadelphia in 1858. The map presents the continent from the Arctic regions through Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, with extensive geographic detail throughout.
Particularly attractive for its original period hand coloring, decorative engraved border, and detailed depiction of the rapidly changing political geography of North America during the mid-19th century. Western territories, early state boundaries, mountain ranges, rivers, cities, and transportation routes provide a fascinating snapshot of the continent just before the American Civil War.
