This is a copy of the 1804 Wilkinson North America map, here printed on linen. Very Scarce. Wilkinson's map of 1804 has been somewhat simplified to allow for limited detail due to printing on fabric. See our #5156 for the Wilkinson 1804 map (see also our copy of the 1826 reissue of Wilkinson's map which appears to be unchanged from the 1804 issue). With a decorative border of vines and tiny vignettes. John Faupel suggested this was probably made as a "commemorative" piece in a very small issue. |

Scarce map on printed linen. Threads of History shows only four early linen maps, this and Mitchell's 1835 Traveler's Guide map and two of Washington, D.C. Another copy of this map was issued fully colored, our copy is uncolored with a light sepia tone. The geography is simplified showing only towns and rivers, to allow for the grosser printing detail possible on cloth. Prime meridian: Washington. The initials "J.S." are embroidered in brown thread in the lower left margin. |
