TANNER, Henry Schenck Map of the United States. Philadelphia H.S. Tanner 1834 Large folding engraved map, 123 x 159 cm, with etched detail in cartouche (sm. defects). In sections backed onto linen and edged with green silk. Kept in a half leather portfolio (sl. used). Nice copy. Rare 1834 edition (1st ed.: 1829) of one of the great national maps of the time, engraved by H.S. Tanner, assisted by E.B. Dawson, W. Allen, and J. Knight. The map has a decorative title vignette after J.W. Steel and is surrounded by 14 inset maps of major cities and/or their surroundings: Albany, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Charleston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Florida. The map depicts the territorial situation after the 1819 Adams-Onis Treaty, that ceded Florida to the U.S. and before the 1845 annexation of Texas. The cartouche illustrates the changing landscape with deer grazing in a pastoral setting. Trains become visible in the background. Ref.
