Note
This is the pocket map version of our 4417, folded into brown leather covers 16.5x7.5 with "Map U. States" stamped in gilt, with ribbon ties. The map has been trimmed to fit the covers (as issued) so that the copyright date above the neat line and the publishing date below the neat line are not present (probably the same as the Karpinski copy which he dated "1813?"). Outline color by state.

Note
This is the only War of 1812 map in the Streeter sale. It covers the area of conflict along the U.S. and Canadian border, showing forts on the U.S. side and a great deal of detail on Canadian townships with a separate listing of towns in the various districts. The Karpinski copy adds Doolittle as engraver. The following year Kensett with Shelton put out a more general map of the U.S. showing vignettes of sea battles. Outline color. Not in Phillips. Scarce.
