Antique Map of the Northeast USA - Vibrant 1903 Cartographic Detail

About the Item

Map of the Northeastern United States of North America, 1903 This striking antique map titled “United States of North America (North Eastern Sheet)” was created by the renowned Scottish cartographer Keith Johnston and published in 1903. It captures the northeastern portion of the United States, including states such as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New England, and parts of the Midwest like Ohio and Indiana. With its fine engraving and hand-colored boundaries, this map offers a vivid snapshot of America’s bustling northeastern corridor at the turn of the century. Notable features include major cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, as well as detailed renderings of the Great Lakes region, showcasing Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario with exceptional precision. The map’s inset of Maine provides additional geographical context for the northernmost reaches of this region, along with a clear delineation of rivers, railways, and mountain ranges. The typography is both elegant and easy to read, displaying Johnston’s trademark clarity and meticulous attention to detail. The map’s condition is very good to excellent, with a clean impression and minimal age-related toning, adding character without compromising legibility. It’s a wonderful example of the craftsmanship that defined early 20th-century cartography and a superb item for collectors and history enthusiasts. For framing, consider using a classic wooden or dark frame to complement the antique colors and highlight the intricate details. A neutral matting will help draw the eye to the delicate engraved lines and fine coloration, making this piece an attractive addition to any study, library, or home gallery.
