This map was produced by the Arrowsmith Map Company in 1828.

Aaron Arrowsmith was born on July 15, 1750 in Durham, England. He moved to London around 1770 and around 1780 found employment with the firm of John Cary, an already established engraver and cartographer. His 1796 maps of North America and 1807 maps of Scotland are considered his best works.

Shortly after 1800 Aarowsmith joined with an American partner, and in 1804 they produced their first atlas.

Arrowsmith's maps were known for their accuracy and were an important resource for planning Lewis and Clark's journey.

His reputation as a cartographer and engraver earned him the position of Hydrographer to His Majesty.

He was also a founder of the Royal Geographical Society.

He died in 1833, but his company was continued by his sons and nephew.

Colton firm, who issued this fine map in their atlas of 1855. The precise detail and soft hand color of this map are typical of lithographed state maps of the second half of the nineteenth century.

This beautiful engraved map came from 'A New General Atlas' published by Anthony Finley in 1828.

Not much is known about Anthony Finley, but it is known that he produced atlases as early as 1818 and employed talented Philadelphia engravers such as H. S. Tanner, J. Vallance, and J. Thackara. Their work is considered to have been remarkable for their distinctiveness and elegance.

The period 1820 to 1840 is considered the Golden Age of American cartography. During this period copper plate engraving accompanied by hand coloring reached its zenith.

The original size was 8 5/8" x 11 1/4" but has been modified to fit out 11" x 14" mylar archival sleeves.
