Description

Rare full original publisher's hand colored example of this fine early map of Vermont.

The map was engraved by Amos Doolittle in New Hampshire and first appeared in Mathew Carey's edition of Guthrie's Geography. The map includes the names of the counties and townships of Vermont. Most notably, the map shows Dartmouth College in Hanover which had only opened a few decades prior in 1769. Perhaps one of the earliest depictions of the college on a map. 

The Connecticut and Hudson Rivers are also depicted bordering the state. A very nice and early map of the region. 

Condition Description
