“The Theatre of War in North America, with the roads and a table of the distances,” published by Sayer & Bennett, London, 1776, from Library of Congress public-domain holdings. The plate carries the colonies above and a compendious letterpress account below: a map that is itself a broadside, which is why it hangs in this catalog.
Rolled in a tube from Austin. Free U.S. shipping on prints over $75. Every sheet inspected by hand before it leaves the shop.
