Description
20" x 15.75". Anthony Finley's map of Illinois, from this scarce 1830 edition, hand colored by counties. Large unnamed territory still belonging to the Native Americans in the upper part of the state., Fayette County extends from Vandalia to the boundary, and a small area below Chicago is Ottowa land, with an irregular unnamed region west of Fayette County extending south to Clark County. A number of other early oversized counties are shown. The map would again be substantially revised in 1831, adding several new counties and information in the Northwest Corner of the state, making this map interesting in its representation of the specific time in which it was made. Framed and matted. Map description included on reverse. Wear includes some minor marks to frame and glass as well as some discoloration on the map engraving due to age.
