Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'

About the Item

A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery label to the reverse. Simply a great map of pre-Statehood Pennsylvania! Date: circa 1775 Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is some toning throughout and what appears to be a small spot of staining to the matte at about 10 o'clock. It has not been observed outside the frame. Otherwise, there are other signs of expected light wear consistent with age to the frame. Measurements: Height: 10 1/4 in. Width: 13 1/4 in Depth: 1/2 in. Sight Height: ca. 4 1/2 in. Sight Width: ca. 7 1/2 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.
