"The Peopling of the U.S.A. Migration to the New World [on sheet with] The Frontier Moves West ",

This educational piece features two maps on one sheet by Pictorial Charts in Leicester, England. The top map illustrates European immigration to the United States over a 100-year period (1831-1930). Various labels throughout the eastern United States identify large clusters of ethnic backgrounds including German, French, Italian, Irish, Scottish and more. A pie chart below the map indicates that nearly 90% of the 132 million U.S. inhabitants were white and 26% of those were of foreign birth. 0.3% are noted as Native American. The map at bottom presents the territorial acquisitions of the United States, including a typo that Oregon Country was ceded by Great Britain in 1876 (1846)! The map is color-coded to show elevation and includes a key with 10 important trails to western migration. The map was used as a teaching tool by British educators with note at bottom "Trade & School Enquiries to George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd." We found only one past sales record for this map in the last 30 years and no institutional examples on OCLC.
