- Lot Description
North America, made in New York, USA by Ensigns & Thayer, ca. 1848 CE. A colorful printed map, "Ornamental Map of the United States & Mexico", depicting the brief moment in US history when the Mexican-American War had just concluded, defining the southern border, but much of the interior west remained populated by its original Native American inhabitants. Gold rushes and the Transcontinental Railroad would soon make the US map much more familiar to modern viewers, but here many of the details remain nebulous, though they are well-rendered by the mapmakers with nice coloration and clear print. Portraits of Washington and two generals from the Mexican-American War are at the top; below that is an imagined view of the Oregon coast. At the bottom is an imagined drawing of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, along with a history of the Spanish conquest. The map comes in a nice wooden frame from the 20th century. Size in frame: 24" W x 29.5" H (61 cm x 74.9 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection
