This hand colored map is a copper plate engraving, dating to 1850 by the legendary American Mapmaker S.A. Mitchell, the elder. It represents Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Contains a beautiful inset map of downtown Boston. This map also contains notes on population in the two states.  This historically important map is extremely rare as it existed only in the 1850 edition of the Mitchell’s Universal Atlas.
