1841 UNITED STATES, Antique Roll Map. Own an impressive piece of history. This 1841 Phelps & Ensign’s Traveller’s Guide and Map of the United States (and territories) includes the Republic of Texas in its smallest configuration (note: Austin’s Colony shown); Mexico begins just to the west of Texas. A large Missouri Territory shows west of the state of Missouri; Wisconsin still shows as a territory. Lots of inset maps and many engravings of our early history (including our presidents to date) make this an exciting map to study. Our Declaration of Independence is engraved beneath the inset showing a Comparative View of Major Mountains. This was originally a rolling map, and was acquired without top and bottom bar and roller. Framed with two suede mats, with a hidden museum grade mat against the map and a museum grade mountboard beneath. UV filtering conservation glass. Dimensions: 26 ½ x 38 ½ inches showing, 37 x 49 inches overall as framed

Condition: Fair-Good; some paper loss and surface wearing about map and engravings; a stain in Pennsylvania and lighter staining at upper left; some water spotting across map. Very little loss of data
