Note: Texas does have international borders at the time of the Republic but has been outlined as part of US when the atlas was published around 1849. California and Arizona are shown as still part of Mexico, which became part of the US in 1848 and a state in 1850.
Description: It is an original copperplate antique map approximately 177 years old with embossed plate marks around the margins, blank on reverse, with original hand color outlining. This is from an enlarged edition with no centerfold, making it great for framing. It is from a circa 1849 Stieler's Hand Atlas, published in Gotha by Justus Perthes, a copy of the title page is included. The map is dated 1843 in small print in the title area along with Friedrich von Stulpnagel, the cartographer under Stieler's direction. Stieler's Hand Atlas appears in the top right margin. The map is not mounted, matted nor framed being sold as a single map as seen in the first pic.
Size: The map area measures approximately 12 by 15 inches (30x38cm) on a 14 by 17 1/2" page (37x45cm)
Condition: Good to Very Good condition, blank on reverse, embossed plate marks in margins, printed on heavy cotton paper with strong original hand color outlining as issued. There are a couple of light handling smudges at the bottom, mainly in the margin, otherwise it is very clean with strong original hand coloring with a nice antique appearance that would frame up well, see the pics. The pics are of the actual map.
