This large finely
engraved
hand coloured original
antique
map of the United States post American Revolution was
engraved by Charles Francois Delamarche (1740-1817)
in 1785 - the date in engraved in the title.
I have found records of 10 sales of this map from
1983 with a peak of $2295 in 2007.
This is a beautifully
engraved and hand coloured map, incredibly detailed
showing the original state borders soon after the War of
Independence from GB. (Ref: Tooley; M&B)
