Add to basketA very attractive plate, originally extracted from a rare 1807 publication of TRAVELS THROUGH THE STATES OF NORTH AMERICA AND THE PROVINCES OF UPPER AND LOWER CANADA during the Years 1795, 1796 and 1797 by Isaac Weld.Isaac Weld was an Anglo-Irish topographical writer, explorer, and artist. He travelled extensively in North America was a member of the Royal Dublin Society. In 1795, he sailed to Philadelphia from Dublin and spent 15 months travelling in the United States and Canada. He visited Monticello and Mount Vernon and met George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. He journeyed to the United States and Canada partly as an adventure and partly as research into suitable countries for the Irish to emigrate to: "any part of those territories might be looked forward to as an eligible and agreeable place of abode". He travelled on horseback, by coach and by canoe in Canada with local native guides. Weld returned in 1797 "without entertaining the slightest wish to revisit it." He found the Americans to be obsessed with material things and preferred Canada.Original and authenticTotal paper size is approx 27.5 x 22.5cmPlease note this is a folding print.Print is in a good condition for age with some light marks and general wear with age.
