Average. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Old verso repairs along fold lines. Wear along fold lines. Slight loss at a fold intersection. Top margin trimmed to border. All other margins very tight. Size 17 x 21.25 Inches. This is an attractive 1825 folding map of southern New England - Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island - produced by Anthony Finley, James H. Young, and David H. Vance. A Closer Look The states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island are displayed with counties color-shaded for easy distinction, while portions of New York, New Jersey, Vermont, and New Hampshire also appear. Cities and towns, roads, canals, waterways, mountains, islands, and other features are noted throughout. Population statistics and information on the area of each state is provided in a statistical table at bottom. Boston appears almost as an island, connected by bridges and a narrow 'neck' of land with nearby communities; in the following decades land reclamation would expand the 'neck' considerably to create entire new areas of the city. Another notable feature of the map is the inclusion of some Native American communities, such as the Shincock (Shinnecock) and Montaug (Montaukett or Montauk) Indians on Long Island. Nearby on Manhattan Island, the City of New York stands out prominently, though its expansion was still limited enough that Greenwich Village remained a distinct settlement (it was best known at the time as the home of Newgate Prison, New York's first state penitentiary). One additional point worth noting is the appearance of the Middlesex and Erie ('Grand') Canals. The Middlesex Canal was one of the earliest civil engineering projects in the United States, built between 1793 and 1803. The canal's construction necessitated several innovations that were used on later canals, including the far longer Erie Canal, completed the same year as this map's publication. Although the railway age was beckoning (the earliest railway in New England would be completed in 1827 to carry granite from quarries in Quincy, Massachusetts to the nearby Neponset River), canals would remain the primary means of long-distance inland commercial transportation until the 1840s. Publication History and Census This map was drafted by David H. Vance, engraved by James H. Young, and published by Anthony Finley in 1825 or perhaps 1826. Though missing its covers, it was once a pocket map, rather than the atlas map that appeared in Finley's 1826 edition of the New American Atlas (Rumsey 0278.004) (aside from publication format, there are no noticeable difference between the two). Regardless of publication format, this map went on to form the basis of maps of these states for subsequent American mapmakers, including pocket maps by Mitchell (1831, Rumsey 2714.002, previously sold by us) and Brown and Parsons (also offered by us, MACTRI-brownparsons-1838). The present map is only independently cataloged at the University of Michigan, Yale University, and the American Antiquarian Society.…
