American Revolution
c. 1775 Historic Classic Map Titled: "A New and Correct PLAN of the TOWN of BOSTON." Charles Town in Ruins
c. 1775 Revolutionary War Period Map titled, "A New and Correct PLAN of the TOWN of BOSTON." Copper Plate Engraving, by Robert Aitken, for "The Gentleman's Magazine," London, Choice Very Fine.
This historic Revolutionary War Period Fold-out Map is titled, "A New and Correct Plan of the Town of Boston." It measures 10-3/8" x 7.25" (by sight) being mounted under a larger mat, to an overall size of 14" x 11". This is an uncolored Copper Plate Engraving with wonderful sharp details. It shows a highly detailed Plan of Boston and the Charles River, from immediately prior to the Revolution, including Streets, Wharfs, Hills, Ponds, etc. with many of the streets properly named. Also shown are; Battery Common, South Battery, North Battery, Hudson's Point, Mill Pond, Boston Hill, Magazine, Corps Hill, the Charles-Town Ferry, the Ruins of Charles Town, Dock Square, Waldo's Wharf and many other interesting place names. This was originally a fold-out map made by engraver Robert Aitken (1735-1808) for inclusion in London's "The Gentleman's Magazine" of 1775. We've sold several of these maps in the past for around $960. The condition is very nice with only some minor "ghosting" of some of the details and legends from where the folded sections came into contact with one another prior to display. This is one of the better impressions we've offered and it is ready for framing and display.
