Item specifics
Original or Reproduction: Original engraved mapProduct Type: Antique Map

You are bidding on an extremely rare and very beautiful  genuine antique  map of the above region and year from the incredibly rare and almost non-existent 1856 edition of Morse's General Atlas of the World. This atlas is so rare that individual maps rarely come up for sale and many collectors are not even familiar with these beautiful maps due to the rarity of this atlas.  Colton and Mitchell Atlas maps and atlases were produced in much greater numbers than the Morse atlas.  Purchasing any one of these maps from the ones that I have listed will certainly be a great addition to you collection !!!  Buy one now because you may never have another chance.

Atlas Information:

Morse's General Atlas is the last of a great American family tradition, dating to Jedidiah Morse's Geographical publications in the late 18th Century. The General Atlas is an updated edition of the Morse & Breese cerographical atlas series issued between 1844-1846, which was first issued in loose wrappers as a serial publication (in 3 sets of maps) and later bound as the North American Atlas and Cerographic Bible Atlas.

This present edition is a significant improvement over the earlier maps, with the counties colored separately and updates as required. These maps are rarely offered individually on the market, as the General Atlas is almost certainly the rarest of the Morse family atlases.

This map is NOT a copy or reproduction and is an original antique map from the year shown.

General Description: 

1.This stunning original map engraving has original hand coloring. It is noteworthy because of its precise engraving, as well as for its size and detail. These maps are becoming extremely scarce to obtain.  Political boundaries as well as individual regions/counties and shows towns, roads, railways, rivers, lakes, bays, harbors, islands and other important places. 

2. The map is in good condition considering the age of the map.  The overall size of the map sheet is approximately 17 inches by 13 inches.   The map is far more beautiful than my pictures show. This map will look wonderful when matted and framed and will be a great addition to your collection. 

3.  The map is a 100% orignal and genuine antique map from the above year.

4.  All of my maps are investment grade and collectible quality.  The value of this original will only increase over time.  Many people are now starting to offer cheap reproductions/copies. - be carefull !!    Why spend the money for something like that when you can have an original for a few dollars more that will only increase in value over time?

5.  Super low starting price.

Map Collecting:

Maps are great gifts and perfect decorative additions to any home or office. They are compelling objects that instantly grab people’s attention and transport them to a different time and place. Owning an antique map is much like owning a window into the past. An antique map can be a veritable passage back in time, allowing one to imagine the world much as the mapmaker himself did 100, 200 or even 300 years ago!  These are great collectibles not only for their decorative and art value but as a financial investment as well.  Remember, these are becoming more rare everyday as collectors purchase them, and of course they are not making the atlases any longer, so purchase a map while they are still affordable.
