Note:
A late New York imprint of Blanchard's. Blanchard went to Chicago in 1854, so this map (entered in New York by Blanchard in 1854) must have been one of his last before the move. It is a wonderful example of a hand colored wax engraved map - up to date in showing Kansas and Nebraska Territories, and decorative with an eagle cartouche, vignettes of ships and steam engines, and a vine border. Full color. Folded into stamped olive green leather covers 14.5x9 with "Ranney's New Map Of The United States" stamped in bronze.
