DESCRIPTION

A striking first state edition of Carey's map of Pennsylvania based on Reading Howell's famous map and from Carey's American Atlas, the first atlas of America printed in the United States.

This map includes the Erie triangle north of the 42nd parallel though evidence of an earlier erasure along the 42nd parallel suggests that the map was originally engraved by J.T. Scott (see Wheat & Brun 438).
