About this Item
Small wall map, lacking rods. Generally good condition, though with some creasing and cracking, particularly near the top. Age-toning, light staining. Shows the Republic of Texas north of Galveston. Extends well west into New Mexico, whose eastern boundary is right up against San Antonio. This is an earlier edition of this map than we have seen before, with a copyright notice dated 1837. Many, many differences from the more frequently seen 1841 issue, the most striking of which is that the bottom has, along with small historical scenes, facsimile signatures from the Declaration of Independence in place of a view of the signing. The five historical scenes at the bottom have also been reengraved. Many geographical changes, including a large number in Texas. Of course, the presidential portraits at the bottom corners do not include Harrison, elected in 1840, who appears on the 1841 issue. Seller Inventory # m00409
