Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Zoom into this map at maps.bpl.org. Author: Smith, J. Calvin Publisher: Sherman & Smith Date: 1845. Location: United States Scale: Scale [ca. 1:1,584,000]. Call Number: G3700 1845.S6 This large wall map focuses on the eastern half of mid-19th century United States. Meanwhile an inset delineates the political geography of North America, with the United States extending to the Pacific Northwest, but not yet including the Republic of Texas or the southwestern territories ceded by Mexico in 1848. The map is decorated with American motifs. In the top center is a vignette of an eagle on a shield of stars and stripes, while the wide decorative border displays sixteen views including one of Boston. A variety of American wildlife (buffalo, deer, beaver, alligator, and turkey) are interwoven into this design. |
