This German produced map is after Ellicott's plan, first published in 1792, but is most similar to the Jedidiah Morse map of 1794 with a few additions and the title and river names in German. Title in script and large compass rose at upper right. We find no references or pricing history for this scarce plan.

References:

Condition: B+

Very nice example less a hint of offsetting near the compass rose and binding trim at lower left.

Estimate: $200 - $250

Sold for: $250
