North America at the time of the Revolution

 

 

 

The mapping of North America was developing at the same time as the mapping of the English Counties. By 1776, a comprehensive series of maps had been published which covered both the continent as a whole and individual states or groups of states. The most important of these maps have been reproduced and are presented in a three part series.
These reproductions are printed on paper of size 30 inches by 22.5 inches and are presented as loose sheets and bound flat between thin card covers.
Please note: Prices subject to change without notice.
