Hand-colored map, printed on tissue. Some gentle foxing to the extremities, and a few very tiny tears, but an attractive copy of this fragile, nicely-colored map, which depicts a swiftly-changing frontier in the American West. While this seems to be the earliest obtainable impression of the map, OCLC locates a single holding of a map with the same imprint dated 1850. The map was reprinted a few times over the next few years. A very handsome, frameable map of the growing and fracturing United States a decade before the Civil War. Seller Inventory # 10999

Store Description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
