Louisiana: A Framed 19th Century Map by O. W. Gray
About the Item
This framed 19th century map of the Louisiana territory was published in "Gray's Atlas of the United States with General Maps of the World, accompanied by Descriptions Geographical, Historical, Scientific and Statistica" published in 1873 in Philadelphia by O.W. Gray and Son and Stedman, Brown and Lyon. It is a highly detailed map of Louisiana and adjacent portions of Mississippi to the east and Texas to the west, as the borders existed in the late 19th century. It includes portions of the Gulf of Mexico and towns and cities, such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Ormando Wyllis (O.W.) Gray (1829-1912) was a Civil and Topographical Engineer who became a cartographer and map atlas publisher.
The map is presented in a light brown distressed bleached wood frame with a cream mat. The frame measures 22.63" wide x 20" high x 0.88" deep. The map is somewhat toned, although the appearance appears in part to be related to its tinting. It is otherwise in very good condition.
