Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Good. Professionally restored and backed with fresh linen. Original rollers. Part of top border missing - see image. Measurement includes rollers. Size 57 x 73 Inches. A 1859 first-edition example of Richard Clark and Robert and George Tackabury's important wall map of Connecticut. When published, it was by far the best and largest map of the state obtainable. A Closer Look The map covers the entire state of Connecticut with impressive detail, including topography, color coding by county and township, notes on railroad lines, rivers, and roads, and countless depth soundings along the Long Island Sound. There are multiple insets of Connecticut cities. Drawn on a scale of 1.5 miles to the inch, Clark and Tackabury's map purports to be the most complete map of Connecticut ever published, identifying 'the location of all public buildings, churches, school-houses, manufacturing establishments, and private residences'. Nine insets focus on the cities of Norwalk, New London, Bridgeport, Hartford, Norwich, Middleton, Waterbury, Norwich, Waterbury, Stamford, and New Haven, where Yale College is identified. To the left of the map proper are 1850 census population statistics for both counties and cities arrayed in a table. Publication History and Census The cartography is an amalgam of older maps and new private survey work produced by G. M. Hopkins and Company of Philadelphia. The countless depth soundings along the Long Island Sound are drawn from the U.S. Coast Survey. This is one of the last great wall maps of Connecticut in the 19th-century. It was printed in Philadelphia and sold by subscription in both wall and case format from March 2, 1859.
