About the map, ready for your wall:
- 1733 Popple's Map of the British Empire in America is without question one of the most important large format maps of North America published in the 18th Century.
- The map was a profound statement of England's designs for dominance of the North American continent, at a time when colonial control of North America was by no means certain.
- Popple's map is the first large scale printed map to show the thirteen colonies.
- The map shows the extent of the British, French, and Spanish colonial possessions.
- The information on the map was based on Popple's work at the Board of Trade and Plantations in London.
- George Washington owned a copy of the Key map (Popple's abbreviated version) and Benjamin Franklin ordered two copies for the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1746 and another in 1752.
- Include four views: Mexico City, New York, Quebec and Niagara Falls, and a sheet with eighteen harbor and island plans from Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia to Porto Bello in Panama.
- Authentication statement of Edmund Halley at the map bottom verifies the accuracy of the map!
- Popple's map was widely copied by other cartographers and remained the standard
map of North America for several decades.
- Each of the map details are comfortably readable.
- Full color.
- High resolution map with hand made antique finish on durable cotton canvas.
- Perfect wooden frame is full of details, hand carved wooden header, bottom roller and magical finials from 200 centuries old massive wood.
- Bronze hangers
- Map will last forever.
It's a unique masterpiece, unique map with unique frame, and this content-rich map always attracts attention of your guests, visitors in your office, company, restaurant, living room ... and believe me, people always love to discuss different themes (traveling, geography, politics, medieval times, history&origin of wines..) standing next to the map, with a glass of wine or fine old cognac...
