Description:  It is an original engraved antique map approximately 155 years old with original hand coloring as issued. It is from Morse and Gaston's Diamond Atlas, published in New York by Samuel Gaston, 1857. A facsimile copy of the title page will also be included for authenticity. It is by Samuel Gaston and Sidney Morse, the brother of Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph. Their father was Jedidiah Morse, also a mapmaker and publisher in New York. The map is not mounted, matted nor framed, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the pic. Overall, a nice antique miniature map that would frame up nicely!
Size: The map image measures approximately 5 by 6 inches (12x15cm) on a 6 by 7 1/4" (15x18cm) page with a margin all around for framing as seen in the pic.
Condition: The map is in Good condition for its age with overall tonal aging and original hand coloring as issued with the binding edge left untrimmed. There is some stray green pigment in the upper corner as seen in the pics and some abrasion along the binding edge, otherwise it is very clean and would frame up nicely. It is printed on heavy paper with a rich antique appearance that would frame up nicely. The pics are of the actual map.
