An important and very scarce map of Pennsylvania by Mathew Carey, one of the seminal figures in early American cartography. Published just after the War of 1812, this map is from Carey’s General Atlas which represented the best American cartographic work of the period. The map-- created in 1814—is from Carey’s 1816 General Atlas. Topographical information is neatly portrayed, including towns, rivers, mountains, and roads. Show just 45 counties, which are named and indicated by light pastel coloring. Longitude is given both with a prime meridian at London and at Philadelphia. Overall, an important map of Pennsylvania by an important figure in American cartography. Small bit of staining in Armstrong County in the west and a couple of counties in the east. Small bit of offsetting. 11.5 x 18
