Gray, O.W. “United States of America" c. 1876

O.W. Gray.  “United States of America.” 

Philadelphia: O.W. Gray, ca.1876.  15 ¾ x 26 ¾.   Lithograph. Original hand color.  Very good condition.  With inset map of Alaska.  

A nicely detailed map 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.  The Dakota Territory and all of present day Oklahoma as “Indian Territory” is shown.
