Gray, O.W. "Maine"

O.W. Gray. “Maine.”

Philadelphia: O.W. Gray, ca. 1875. 14 ¾ x 11 ¾.  Map extends beyond frame line into margin.  Lithograph.  Original hand color. Very good condition.

A nicely detailed map of Maine showing counties, towns, canals, roads, railroads & topography by the Philadelphia firm of O.W. Gray and Son.  The firm began its publishing around mid-century and produced regional and U.S. atlases up to the 1880s.  This map is typical of their work, and its attractive presentation and interesting detail make it a nice example of late nineteenth century Philadelphia cartography.  A similar map of both New Hampshire and Vermont is on the reverse.
