*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
[America] HAVEN & EMMERSON.
Map of the United States and Mexico Including Oregon, Texas and the Californias.
Engraved map with original hand color.
New York, 1846.
18 5/8" x 23 1/8" sheet.
Comparable: Bonhams, 2012 - $3,125.
The map set within four columns of text and bordered by thirty state seals. John Haven had a reputation for publishing maps which asserted contentious boundary lines during the era of rapid westward expansion, and this map is no exception. It depicts Oregon's boundary as above the 54th parallel (marked "Boundary claimed by United States") as well as one near the 48th parallel ("Boundary offered as Compromise by U.S."). The map also depicts disputed boundary lines between Texas and Mexico in the same year the Mexican-American War began.
