SCULL, Nicholas; and George HEAP. A Map of Philade

Sign In to see what this sold for

[London: August 1753]. Engraved folding map (355 x 300 mm). Table of distances below the title. Provenance: Martin P. Snyder. A year following the publication of the statehouse elevation, the Gentleman's Magazine here published the first progenitor of the original Scull and Heap map, albeit without the view. "This English presentation is a much neater job in its lettering and fineness of detail than the Philadelphia engraving" (Wainwright). Snyder, COI 16 (this copy illustrated as Fig. 15); Wainwright, "Scull and Heap's Map of Philadelphia" in PMHB, vol. 81, no. 1.
