Description
A map of the United States as far west as the Missouri Territory, New Mexico and Texas, with portraits of Washington & Franklin in the decorative borders, and vignette views of Buffalo hunting, Penn's Treaty with the Indians, & Washington's Monument in Baltimore.
The map was drawn and engraved by John Rapkin for the 'The Illustrated Atlas, and Modern History of the World, Geographical Political, Commercial & Statistical', edited by Montgomery Martin, which was one of the last decorative atlases to be published.
