Description
John Cary (English, 1754-1835). An engraved map with hand coloring by famed cartographer John Cary, whose maps of North America documented the wide ranging unknown, especially surrounding the Midwest and Western portions of current day United States. This iconic map of 1806 is especially interesting that it was executed the same year the Lewis & Clark Expedition returned, bringing along with it fresh information around the Missouri River, and disproving the theory that the Rocky Mountains split the United States vertically.
18.5" x 20.5" (sight), 27.5" x 30" (framed).
Condition
Faded coloring, tonied, and some areas of foxing.
